Rise Up Singing gives lyrics & a chord line. I'm not sure I can make the chords work with it, but below is what I found:

The first time ever I saw your face
I though the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon & stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark & the empty skies, my love
To the dark & the empty skies

D A D - / - - F#m G/ D Em E - / C – D - / /

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, my love
That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And last til the end of time, my love
And last til the end of time.
