"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face [Live]" Lyrics

The first time ever l 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 empty skies
To the dark and empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
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
And felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time, my love
And it would last till the end of time, my love

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face
