~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 stars were gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless 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, my love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 till the end of time, my love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first time ever I saw your face.
Your face..your face..your face.
