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 sky, my love... The first time ever I kissed your mouth And felt your heart beat close to mine Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love... The first time ever I lay with you I felt the earth move in my hand I thought our joy would fill the earth And last til the end of time, my love... *Roberta Flack |
