(INTRO:) C

(VERSE 1:)
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes___
And the moon and stars were the gift you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
To the dark and the empty skies

(VERSE 2:)
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

(VERSE 3:)
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 ‘til the end of time, my love
And last ‘til the end of time

(VERSE 4:)
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes____
And the moon and stars were the gift you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
To the dark and the empty skies
