I thought the sun rose in your eyes
       And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
       To the night and the empty skies my love
       To the night and the empty skies

       The first time ever I kissed your mouth
       I felt the earth turn in my hand
       Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
       That was there at my command my love
       That was there at my command

       The first time ever I lay with you
       And felt your heart beat close to mine
       I thought our joy would fill the earth
       And would last 'till the end of time my love
       And would last 'till the end of time

       The first time ever I saw your face
       I thought the sun rose in your eyes
       And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
       To the night and the empty skies my love
       To the night and the empty skies
