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
~
The first time ever I kissed your mouth, I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird, that was there at my command

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had style
And so I came to see him, to listen for a while
And there he was a young man, A stranger to my eyes..
~
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
and then he looked right through me, as if I wasnt there..

The closer I get to you, the more you'll make me see
By giving me all you've got, your love has captured me
~
Over and over again, I'll try to tell myself that we could never be more than friends
And all the while inside I knew it was real, the way you make me feel...

Warm sleepy moments waking up next to you
Feeling you close by by side
Nothing on earth has ever felt better
Than the feelings I've felt deep inside
~
Sometimes it seems that I never lost you
And that your not really gone
Cause I have this dream, this wonderful dream
And it just goes on and on
~
And if ever I get to see you again
Maybe this time it will work out alright
Maybe this time we won't say goodbye
But only goodnight
With a love that won't end
If ever I see you again....
