First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics

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 endless sky, my love And the first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move through my hands Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command And the first time ever I lay with you I felt your heart so close to mine And I know our joy would fill the earth And last till the end of time, my love The first time ever I saw your face
