The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Songtext / Lyric

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






And 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 must stay at my command, my love



And 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 and last and last

'til the end of time, my love



The first time ever I saw your face, your face

Your face, your face
