THE FIRST TIME
Author(s): Micah
Songbook: LJ 03 Embrace
KeyWords: Christmas,

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts You gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
To the dark and empty skies
[Two times]

The first time ever I held You near
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
You were there at my command, my love
You were there at my command
[Two times]

The first time ever I lay with You
And felt your heartbeat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And would last 'til the end of time, my love
And would last 'til the end of time
[Two times]
