F                          C             F  
The first time ever I saw your face  
                     Dm                  Am              Bb   
I thought the sun rose in your ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-eyes  
                             C                   F      
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave  
           Eb                          F  
To the dark and the empty* skies, my love,  
           Eb                       F  
To the dark and the empty skies.  


F                          C                  F  
The first time ever I kissed your mouth  
              Dm                    Am         Bb  
I felt the earth move in my ha-a-a-a-a-ands  
                  C                      F  
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird  
          Eb                    F  
That was there at my command, my love,  
          Eb                    F  
That was there at my command.  


     C         F  
Ah ah H, hoa oh oh oh oh oh   
    Dm       Am       Bb  
Woh oh oh oh hoa hoa hoa  
        C           F  
Oh hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa  
          Eb                     F  
That was there at my command, my love,  
          Eb                    F  
That was there at my command.
