Johnny Cash Lyrics

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 the endless sky
My love

And the first time ever kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move
Through my hands
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there
At my command

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart
So close to mine
And I know our joys
Would fill the earth
And last
Till the end of time
My love

The first time ever I saw your face
