The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon in the stars

Were the gifts you gave to the dark

And the ends of skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hand

And you locked the trembling heart

Of a captive bird that was dead

And my command

That was their whole heart

And my command

And the first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew no joy, no joy would fill me up

And I knew no joy, no joy would fill me up

Till the end of time

It would last till the end of time

And the first time ever I saw your face

Your face, oh

Your face

Your face
