The First Time
The first time
ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose
in your eyes
and the moon
and the sun
the gifts you gave
to the dark and the endless sky
My love
And the first time
ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move
through my hands
like the trembling heart
of a captive bird
that was there
at my command
And the first time
ever I lay with you
I felt your heart
so close to mine
And I know
our joy
will fill the world
and last
till the end of time
My love
The first time
ever I saw
your
face
