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 the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless skies
My Love

To the dark, and the endless skies

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 was there, at my command
My Lovе

And the first time evеr 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
And it would last, till the end of time

The first time ever I saw
Your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
