Key: C

Introduction:

                     C                    Am                 F 
The first time ever I saw your face
                                     Dm                                       Am   Bb 
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
                                                         C                                       F 
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
                         Eb                                                     F 
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
                         Eb                                                 F 
to the dark and the empty skies.
                         C                    Am7                       F 
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
                                   Dm                                   Am       Bb 
I felt the earth move in my hands
                                                       C                           F 
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
                                   Eb                                   F 
That was there at my command, my love,
                             Eb                                         F 
that was there at my command.
                     C                    Am7           F 
The first time ever I lay with you
                                       Dm                                               Am     Bb 
And felt your heart beat close to mine
                                         C                         F 
I thought our joy would fill the earth
                               Eb                                         F 
And would last till the end of time, my love,
                                 Eb                                             F 
And would last till the end of time.
