The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

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 endless sky


My Love.





And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth


I felt the earth move in my hands


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 know our joy


Would fill the earth


And last, til the end of time


My Love.


And last, til the end of time.





The first time, ever I saw


Your face


Your face


Your fa-ace


Your face.
