The first time ever I saw your face,nI thought the sun rose in your eyes,nand the moon and stars were the gifts you gave,nTo the dark and empty skies my love,nDark and empty skies.nnThe first time ever I kissed your lipsnI felt the earth move in my hand,nLike the trembling heart of a captive birdnThat was there at my command, my love,nThat was there at my command.nnThe first time ever I lay with younI felt your heart beat close to mine,nAnd I knew our joy would fill the earthnAnd would last till the end of time, my love,nAnd would last till the end of time.nnThe first time ever I saw your face,nI thought the sun rose in your eyes,nand the moon and stars were the gifts you gave,nTo the dark and empty skies my love,nDark and empty skies.
