The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 endless skies my love

[Verse 2]
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move through my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love

[Verse 3]
The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart so close to mine
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face
