|
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 dark and the endless sky, my love. |
|
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth, |
|
I felt the earth move through my hands. |
|
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird |
|
That was there at my command. |
|
And the first time ever I lay with you, |
|
I felt your heart so close to mine. |
|
And I know our joy would fill the earth, |
|
And last till the end of time, my love. |
|
The first time ever I saw your face. |
