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 dark and endless skies my love to the dark and endless skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hand like the trembling heart of a captive bird. That was then and at my command my love that was then at my command.
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 to the end of time my love and last to end of time
The first time ever I saw your face
Arrival of the bride
