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.

,'

.

And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move through my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there, at my command.

.

.

And the first time, ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine

And I know our Joy would fill the Earth

And Last till the End of Time, My Love

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