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 gift you gave To the dark and empty skies My love 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 beat over mine And I thought our joy would fill the earth And last till the end of time my love Till the end of time my love --- The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Alison Moyet
