Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The fir[Dsus4]st time[C][D]
ever [G]I saw your [Em]face
I thought the sun [Bm]rose in your eye[C]s
And the [G]moon and the stars
[D]were the[G] gifts you gave
To [F]the night and the empty [G]skies my love
To [Dm]the night and the e[D]mpty s[G]kies

[Verse 2]
The [D]first time ever [G]I kissed your [Em]mouth
I felt the [Bm]earth turn in my [C]hand
Like the [G]trembling heart
[D]of a cap[G]tive bird
That was [F]there at my com[G]mand my love
That was [Dm]there at [D]my command
[G]

[Verse 3]
[Eb]The firs[Bbm]t time[G][Ebsus4]
[Ab]ever I lay with you
[Fm]And felt your heart [Cm]beat close to
[Db]mine[Ab]
I thought our joy [Eb]would [Ab]fill the earth
And [Gb]would last 'till the end of
[Ab]time my [Dbm]love[Ab]
And would [Ebm]last 'till the e[Eb]nd of ti[Ab]me

[Verse 4]
The [Bbm]first [Eb]time ever I
[Ab]saw [Eb]your face
[Ab]I thought [Gb]the sun [Absus4]rose
[Ab]in y[Gb]our e[Absus4]yes[Ab]
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
