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 stars, were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the 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, your face
