Em                          A             D                
  The first time ever I saw your face  
Bm                  F#m                 G  
  I thought the sun rose in your eyes  
              D                    A                 D  
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave  
           Am7                         D  
To the dark and the endless skies.  


Em                                 A                  D                     
   And the first time ever I kissed your mouth  
Bm                   F#m             G                
  I felt the earth move in my hands  
             D              A               D  
Like the trembling heart    of a captive bird  
               Am7              D  
That was there at my command, my love.  



Em                                    A          D                Bm  
     And the first time ever I lay with you  
                  F#m                    G  
  I felt your heart so close to mine  
          D                        A         D      
And I knew our joy would fill the earth  
Am7                              D    
  And last till the end of time, my love.    



Em                         A        D           A     D          C  
 The first time ever I saw your face, your face  
D        C bar       D bar  
   Your face,  your face
