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
