The First Time Lyrics - Kingston Trio

The first time ever I saw your face 

I thought the sun rose in your eyes 

And the moon and stars were the gift you gave 

To the dark and the empty skies 

My love, to the dark and the empty skies 

The first time ever I kissed your lips 

I felt the earth move in my arms 

Like the trembling heart of a captive dove 

That was there at my command 

My love, that was there at my command 

The first time ever I held you near 

And felt your heart beat close to mine 

I felt a joy to fill the earth 

And last until the end of time 

My love, and last till the end of time 

Our love will last till the end of time
