The first time ever I saw your face
|
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
|
And the moon and 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 move 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 held you near
|
And felt your heartbeat close to mine
|
I thought our joy would fill the world
|
And would last till the end of time my love
|
And would last till the end of time.
