I felt the earth turn 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

And felt your heart beat close to mine____
              F  C               G
I thought our joy would fill the earth
          Bb            F      C
And would last 'til the end of time, my love
    Bb            F      C      Bb  F  G    C
And last 'til the end of time
