UNKLE, Keaton Henson - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics
[UNKLE, Keaton Henson - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics]
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 dark and empty skies, my love
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
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
And last till the end of time
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were
The gifts you gave
To the dark and empty skies, my love
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
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
And last till the end of time
