The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics
by Christy Moore
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 endless sky, my love.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e84387-christy_moore~the_first_time_ever_i_saw_your_face_lyrics.html ]
The first time ever I kissed your mouth,
I felt the earth move in my hand,
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love.
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 'till the end of time, my love,
And last 'till the end of time.
