The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face歌词

the first time ever i saw your face
i thought the sun rose in your eyes
and the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
to the night and the empty skies, my love
the first time ever i kissed your mouth
i felt the earth turn in my hand
like the trembling heart of a captive bird
that was there at my command, my love
the first time ever i lay with you
and felt your heart beat close to mine
the first time ever i saw your face, your face, your face
your face
