The first time ever I saw your face (Ewan Maccoll)

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 night and the empty skies my love
      To the night and the empty skies
      The first time ever I kissed your mouth
      I felt the earth turn 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 close to mine
      I thought our joy would fill the earth
      And would last 'till the end of time my love
      And would last 'till the end of time
      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 night and the empty skies my love
      To the night and the empty skies
