Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

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 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.

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 my love

The first time ever I saw your face, your face,

Your face, your face
