The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes___
And the moon and stars were the gift you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
To the dark and the empty skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there, at my command, my love
That was there, at my command
The first time ever I lay with you
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And would last 'til the end of time, my love
And last 'til the end of time
The first time ever I saw your face
And the moon and stars were the gift you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
To the dark and the empty skies
