  			Dm            G       C                    C Em 
The first time ever I saw your face 
Am                   Em                    F 
    I thought the sun rose in your eyes 
              Gsus4                                 C 
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave  
          Bb                       C 
to the dark and empty skies, my love 
 
 
The first time ever I kissed your mouth 
I felt the earth move in my hand, 
like a trembling heart of a captive bird, 
That was there at my command, my love, 
 
And the first time ever I lay with you 
I felt your heart so close to mine 
and I knew our joy would fill the earth 
And last till the end of time, my love 
Dm             G         C  G  C 
The first time ever I saw      your face 
Bb            C                 Bb 
  Your face,   your face 
         C 
Your face...
