The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

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 empty skies, my love The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hand, like a 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...
