The First 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 empty skies, my love

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand,
like a 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...
