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 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 so close to mine And I knew our joy would fill the earth
  And last till the end of time, my love
  The first time ever I saw your face Your face, your face, your face
