The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics

by Roberta Flack


The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the end of the skies

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e85258-roberta_flack~the_first_time_ever_i_saw_your_face_lyrics.html ]
And 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

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last, till the end of time, my love

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
