Lyrics

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes -

And the moon and stars were the gift you gave

To the dark and empty skies, my love,

To the dark and empty 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,

That was there at my command.

The first time ever I lay with you

And felt your heart beat next to mine -

I thought our joy would fill the earth

And last till the end of time, my love,

And last till the end of time.
