      The first time     ever I saw your face
 Am                                       Em                               F 
      I thought the sun rose in your eyes
                         C                             G         C 
And the moon and the stars       were the gifts you gave
       Gm                               C 
To the dark and the empty skies.

        And the first time     ever I kissed your mouth

      I felt the earth move in my hands
                             C                   G   C 
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
 Cm                                                                         F 
    And last and last and last till the end of time my love
 Gm                                               C     F                   Eb 
      The first time ever I saw     your face,   your face,
 F                     Eb                     F 
    Your face,     your face
