    A#m       D#/G  G#
The first time ever I saw your face,
Fm7                       Cm7      C#
I thought the sun rose in your eyes.
         G#          D#          G#
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave,
F#                     G#
To the dark and the endless sky, my love.

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
That was there at my command

The first time I ever lay with you
And felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the world
And would last 'til the and of time, my love
It would last 'til the end of time
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face
