Shirley Bassey - 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 the stars

Were the gifts you gave

To the dark

And the empty skies

My Love

To the dark

And the endless skies

The first time

Ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth

Move in my hands

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 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 would last

Till the end of time

The first time

Ever I saw

Your face

Your face

Your face

Your face
