{title:The First Time}

{st:Ewan MacColl}

The f[D]irst t[A]ime ever I s[D]aw your face,

I thought the s[G]un rose in you[D]r ey[A7]es.

And the moon and the s[G]tars were the g[D]ifts you gave

To the n[C]ight and the empty s[D]ky, my love.

To the n[C]ight and the empty s[D]ky.

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 held you near,

I felt the heart beat close to mine.

I thought our joy would fill the world,

And would last 'till the end of time, my love.

And would last 'till the end of time.
