The First Time Ever I Saw Your
by annie lennox
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies.
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies.
And 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.
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love.
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last and last and last till the end of time
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last and last and last till the end of time
The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
Your face, your face
Your face, your face
