The first time ever i saw your face

The first time ever i saw your face 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 endless skies, my love

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

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
Saw your face
