"The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face)"

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 endless sky, my love

First time ever I kissed your lips
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there, oh, there at my command
It was there at my command, my love

Know the first time, yes, ever I lay, I lay, I lay with you
And felt your heart so close, so close, close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And it would last to our last till the end of time
Oh, it would last, oh, last till the end of time, my love

Oh, the first time ever I saw your face, yeah, yeah, yeah
When I look deep down into your eyes
You made me say and you made me feel joy like never before, yeah

When I look for the very first time, hey, like never before
Talk about love, talk about, oh, joy that I felt deep down, deep down inside
The first time ever I saw your face, your face, your face, your face
