The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face [version 1]

The first time ever i saw your face

I saw the sun rise in your eyes

That the moon and stars were a gift you gave

To the dark and the empty skies, my love,

To the dark and the empty skies.



The first time ever i kissed your mouth

And felt the earth move close to mine

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love,

That was there at my command.



The first time ever i lay with you

And felt your heart beat close to mine,

I thought our joy would never end

And would last till the end of time, my love,

And would last till the end of time.
