The first time, e-ver I saw your face
5 5 5 -5 5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -5
I thought the su-un rose in your e – e – e – e – e – eyes
4 4 6 6 6 -5 5
And the moon and the sta-rs
5 -4 5 4 3
Were the gifts you gave
3 -3// -3/ -3/ -3/ 4 -4 4 3 3
To the dark, and the endless skies, my love
3 -3// -3/ -3/ -3/ 3 3 -3// 3 3
To – o - o the dark, and the endless skies
4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 5 4 3
And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
5 5 5 -5 5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -5
I felt the earth move in my ha-a-a-a-a-ands
6 6 6 6 -5 5
Like the trembling he-art
5 -4 5 4 3
Of a captive bird
3 -3/ -3/ 4 4 -4 4 3 3
That was there, at my command, my love
3 -3// -3/ -3/ -3/ 3 -3// 3 3 3 3 3
Tha-a-at was there, at m-y command, my love
4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 5 4 3
And the first time, ever I lay with you
5 5 5 -5 5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -5
I felt your he-art so close to mi – i – i – i – i - ine
4 6 6 6 -5 5
And I knew our jo-oy
4 5 5 4 3
Would fill the earth
3 -3/ 4 4 4 4 4 3 3
And last, til the end of time, my love
3 -3/ -3/ -3/ 3 3 -3// 3 3 3 3
And it would last, 'til the end of time, my love
4 -4 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -5 -4
The first time, ever I sa-a-aw
