The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
The moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and empty skies my love
To the dark and endless sky

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command

And would last 'til the end of time my love
It would last 'til the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face...
