Journey South — 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 endless 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 I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
The first time ever I saw your face, your face,
Your face, your face, saw your face
