Lyrics:

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 empty skies, my love
To the dark and the empty skies
The first time (the first time)
Ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the Earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird (captive bird)
That was there (that was there) at my command, my love
That was there (that was there) at my command
The first time (the first time)
Ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine (felt your heart beat close to mine)
I knew our joy would fill the Earth (would fill the Earth)
And would last (last) 'til the end of time, my love (my love)
And would last (and it would last) 'til the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face
