Dm G C C G/B
The first time ever I saw your face
Am Em F
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
C G C
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
Gm C
To the dark and the empty skies.


Dm G C C G/B
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
Am Em F
I felt the earth move in my hands
C G C
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
Gm C
That was there at my command, my love.


Gm C F F C
And the first time ever I lay with you
Dm Am Bb
I felt your heart so close to mine
F C F
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
Cm F
And last and last and last till the end of time my love
Gm C F Eb
The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
F Eb F
Your face, your face
