"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 the stars, were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies

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

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
The first time, ever I saw your face,
your face, your face, your face
