Intro: C - Dm - G
 
      Dm          - G             C
1. 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,
            Bb                          C
    to the dark and the endless skies, my love.
 
         Dm          - G            C
2. And the first time       ever I kissed your mouth,
Am                  ~ - Em                 F
    I felt the earth  move        through  my hands,
C                       - G                    C
    like the trembling heart       of a captive bird,
              Bb           C
    that was there at my command.
 
          Dm           - G           C
3. And the first time       ever I lay with you,
Am               ~ - Em                   F
    I felt your heart              so close to mine,
         C                - G              C
    and I know our joy         would fill the earth,
        Bb                        C
     and last 'till the end of time, my love.
Dm                          C   Dm - G   C
    The first time ever I saw your       face.
