"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, ooh
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth, I felt the earth move in my hand, it just moved in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
The trembling heart
That was there, that was there
That was there
At my command, my love
My love

And the first time
And the first time
Ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy
I knew our joy
Would fill the earth

And last
And last
Till the end of time, my love
That first time
That first time
Ever I saw your, your face

Your face
Your face
Your face
When I saw your face
