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
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
AND I KNEW OUR JOY WOULD FILL THE EARTH
AND LAST, AND LAST, AND LAST TILL THE END OF TIME
THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE
YOUR FACE
YOUR FACE
YOUR FACE
