[C] The first time ever [Am] I saw your [F] face, I thought [Dm] the sun rose [Am] in your
[Bb] eyes.
And the moon [C] and stars [F] were the gifts you gave.
To [Eb] the dark and the [F] empty [F] skies, my love.
To [Eb] the dark and the [F] empty skies.
The [C] first time ever I [F] kissed your brow, I felt [Dm] the earth move in my [Am] [Bb] hand.
Like the [C] trembling heart [F] of a captive bird [Eb] that was there.
[Bb] At my [F] command, my love.
[Eb] That was there [Eb] at [F] my command.
[C] I
[F] love you.
