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 night and the empty skies my love |
| to the night and the empty skies |
| 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 |
| 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 fill the earth |
| and would last 'till the end of time my love |
| and would last 'till the end of time |
| 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 night and the empty skies my love |
| to the night and the empty skies |
