Dm            G7       C
The first time ever I saw your face
Am                 Em              F
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
F           Gsus4        G7       C
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
A#                      C
To the dark and the endless skies my love

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move through my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love

Gm                C        F           A
And the first time ever I lay with you
Dm                     Am         A# C
I felt your heart so close to mine
Dm           Am        G7 D
The first time ever I saw your face
A#       C        A#         C
Your face your face your face
