D     A           D                                        
The first time ever I saw your face,
              G           D    A7                               
I thought the sun rose in your eyes.
                     G              D                         
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
       C                  D                                  
To the dark and the empty sky, my love.
       C                  D                                  
To the dark and the empty sky.
       
                                                   
[Verse 2]
    D     A           D                                                             
The first time ever I kissed your mouth,
              G             D    A7                                                             
I felt the earth move in my hand,
                     G                D                                                             
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird,
       C                D                                                            
That was there at my command, my love.
       C                D                                                              
That was there at my command.


[Verse 3]
    D       A         D 
The first time ever I lay with you,
              G           D  A7  
I felt your heart so close to mine
                     G              D 
And I knew our joy would fill the Earth,
       C                   D   
And would last 'till the end of time, my love.
       C                   D   
And would last 'till the end of time.
