JOOLS HOLLAND
"First Time I Ever Saw Your Face"

The first time, ever I saw your face,
I thought the Sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dawn and endless sky,

The first time, ever I kissed your lips,
I felt the earth, move in my hands
Like the trembling heart, of a captive bird
That was at my command, my love.

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, 'til the end of time.

The first time, ever I saw your face,
Your face,
Your face,
Your face...
