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

Your rating:

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….
