The First Time Ever I Saw 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 skies 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 The first time ever I layed 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 The first time ever I saw your face Your face your face Your face
