The first [E]tim[E7]e ever I [A]saw your face

[VERSE 2]
The first [E]tim[E7]e ever I [A]kissed your mouth
I felt the [F#m]earth move in my [C#m7]hand [D]
Like the trembling [E]heart of a [A]captive bird
That was [G]there at my comm[A]and, my love
That was [G]there at my comm[A]and

The first time ever I held you near
And felt your [F#m]heart beat close to [C#m7]mine [D]
I thought our [E]joy would [A]fill the world
And would [G]last 'til the end of [A]time, my love
And would [G]last 'til the end of [A]time
