[ Featuring Jacqui Dankworth ]
The first time
Ever I saw your face
I thought the sun
Rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark
And the endless skies
My love
To the dark
And the endless skies
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
My love
That was there
At my command
My love
The first time
Ever I lay with you
I felt your heart
So close to mine
And I knew our joy
It would fill the earth
And it would last
Till the end of time
My love
And it would last
Till the end of time
My love
The first time
Ever I saw
Your face, your face
Your face
Your face
