Or
[A] [Bm] [E] 2x
[Bm] [E] [A]
The first time, ever I saw your face
[F#m] [C#m] [A] [D]
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
[E] [A]
And the moon and the stars
[E]
Were the gifts you gave
[G] [A]
To the dark, and the endless sky
My love
[G] [A]
To the dark, and the endless skys
[Bm] [E] [A]
And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
[F#m] [C#m] [A] [D]
I felt the earth move in my hands
[E] [A]
Like the trembling heart
[E]
Of a captive bird
[G] [A]
That was there, at my command
My love
[G] [A]
That was there, at my command
My love
[Bm] [E] [A]
And the first time, ever I lay with you
[F#m] [C#m] [A] [D]
I felt your heart so close to mine
[E] [A]
And I knew our joy
[E]
Would fill the earth
[G] [A]
And last, till the end of time
My love
[G] [A]
And it would last, till the end of time
My love
[Bm] [A] [E] [A]
The first time, ever I saw your face
[E]
Your face
[A] [D]
Your face
[E] [D]
Your face
