The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 dark and the endless skies my love

[Verse 2]
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like a trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love

[Verse 3]
The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy
Would fill the earth
And last til the end of time my love

[Verse 4]
The first time ever I saw
Your face [x4]

[Outro]
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars...
