[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
C Dm G Dm             G        C            
■ ■  ■ The first time ■ ever I saw your face
              Am       Em         F   
I thought the sun rose ■  in your eyes
G         G        C   G          C                
■ And the moon and the stars were the gift you gave
Bb                        C            
To the dark and the empty skies my love
        Dm         G      C                  
And the first time ■ ever I kissed your mouth
Am                       Em            F    
■  I felt the earth move ■  through my hands
C                          G              C   
■ Like the trembling heart ■ of a captive bird
Bb                   C      
That was there at my command
        Dm         G        C           
And the first time ■ ever I lay with you
Am                   Em                  F   
■  I felt your heart ■  beat so close to mine
      C            G       C             
And I know our joy ■ would fill the earth


[Chorus]
Bb                        C           
And last 'till the end of time my love
Dm                       C   G    C   
■  The first time ever I saw your face


[Outro]
