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 
I thought our joy would fill the earth 
And last 'till the end of time, my love 
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
