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 endless sky
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 knew our joy would
fill the earth
And last till the end of time
The first time ever
I saw your face your face
your face 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 endless sky
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 knew our joy would
fill the earth
And last till the end of time
The first time ever
I saw your face your face
your face your face
