[Intro]
C x2
Dm  G
[Strophe]
    Dm         G        C 
The first time...ever I saw your face,  
Am7                    Em7       F 
I thought the sun rose...in your eyes. 
C                       G          C 
 And the moon and stars...were the gifts you gave, 
        Bb                    C 
To the dark...and the endless sky, my love.
[Strophe]
        Dm         G        C 
And the first time...ever I kissed your mouth, 
Am7                   Em7          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, my love
[Strophe]
        Dm         G        C 
And the first time...ever I laid with you, 
Am7               Em7           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.
