          E  E7       A
[tab]              F#m              C#m7  D
I thought the sun rose in your eyes

                 E               A
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave

       G                  A
To the dark and the empty skies, my love

       G                  A
To the dark and the empty skies
[Interlude] A E A [Verse 2]
          E  E7       A
The first time ever I kissed your mouth

           F#m              C#m7  D
I felt the earth move in my hand

                   E          A
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

         G               A
That was there at my command, my love

         G               A
That was there at my command
[Interlude] A E A [Verse 3] E E7 A The first time ever I held you near
              F#m                 C#m7  D
And felt your heart beat close to mine

              E         A
I thought our joy would fill the world

          G                    A
And would last 'til the end of time, my love

          G                    A
And would last 'til the end of time
