[Intro] E B E B E B F#m E [Verse]
          F#m  A      B        E
The first time ever I saw your face

              A   G#m          B   F#m
I thought the sun rose in your eyes...

                 E    A         B        E
And the moon and stars were the gift you gave

       F#m B              E         B
To the dark and the empty skies, my love

       F#m G#m      A     E
To the dark and the empty skies
[Verse]
          F#m  A      B           E
The first time ever I kissed your lips

           A     G#m        B   F#m
I felt the earth move in my arms...

                   E    A     B       E
Like the trembling heart of a captive dove

         F#m  B         E        B
That was there at my command, my love

         F#m  G#m A     E
That was there at my command
[Instrumental] E B E B E B F#m E [Verse]
          F#m  A      B        E
The first time ever I held you near

              A     G#m           B   F#m
And felt your heart beat close to mine...

         E  A   B        E
I felt a joy to fill the earth

           F#m B           E        B
And last until  the end of time, my love

    F#m G#m       A      E
And last till the end of time

              F#m G#m       A      E
Our love will last till the end of time
