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 end of the skies 

And 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 

And the first time ever I lay with you 
I felt your heart so close to mine 
And I knew our joy would fill the earth 
And last, till the end of time, my love 

The first time ever I saw your face 
Your face 
Your face 
Your face
