The first time ever I saw your face
|
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
|
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
|
To the dark and the empty skies my love
|
To the dark and the empty skies
|
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
|
I felt the earth turn in my hand
|
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
|
That was there at my command my love
|
That was there at my command
|
|
The first time ever I lay with you
|
And felt your heart beat close to mine
|
I thought our joy would fill the earth
|
And would last 'till the end of time my love
|
And would last 'till the end of time
|
|
The first time ever I saw your face
|
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
|
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
|
To the dark and the empty skies my love
|
To the dark and the empty skies
|
