Alison Moyet The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics

Home > M > Alison Moyet > The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars were the gift you gave

To the dark and empty skies [my love]



The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move 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]



The first time ever I lay with you

And felt your heart beat over mine

And I thought our joy would fill the earth

And last till the end of time my love

And last to the end of time
