The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Songtext

von Meav

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts 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
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, it would fill the earth,
And last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love
The first time ever I saw your face.
