Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics

The first time ever I saw your face,

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

and the moon and stars

were the gifts you gave,

to the dark and the endless skies, my love.

To the dark and the endless skies….

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth,

I felt the earth moving my hands.

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love

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.

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

The first time ever I saw your face,

your face,

your face,

your face….
