The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Kate Ceberano

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
The moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
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
I felt your heart beat so close to mine
And I knew 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
Your face, your face
Your face
