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 the empty skies, 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, the first time ever i lay with you, and felt your heart beat so close to mine, i knew our joy would fill the earth, and last till the end of time, and last till the end of time, the first time ever i saw your face, saw your face, saw your face, saw your face
