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 skies, my love,
To the dark and the endless skies
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,
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,
And it will last till the end of time, my love
The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
Your face, your face
