The first	tim	e ever I	saw your face,

	F#m	C#m7	D
I thought the	sun rose in your	eyes.

	E	A
And the moon and	stars were the g	ifts you gave

	G	A
To the	dark and the empty	skies, my love.

	G	A	E	A
To the	dark and the empty	skies.

	E	E7	A
The first	tim	e ever I	kissed your mouth,

	F#m	C#m7	D
I felt the	earth move in my	hand.

	E	A
Like the trembling	heart of a	captive bird,

	G	A
That was	there at my comm	and, my love.

	G	A	E	A
That was	there at my comm	and.

	E	E7	A
The first	tim	e ever I	held you near,

	F#m	C#m7	D
And felt your	heart beat close to	mine,

	E	A
I thought our	joy would	fill the world.

	G	A
And would	last 'til the end of	time, my love.

	G	A	E	A
And would	last 'til the end of	time.
