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 night and the empty skies my love 
To the night and the empty skies 
 
The first time ever I kissed your mouth 
I felt the earth turn 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 close to mine 
I thought our joy would fill the earth 
And would last 'till the end of time my love 
And would last 'till the end of time 
 
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 night and the empty skies my love 
To the night and the empty skies
