THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE |
|
Written by Ewan McColl |
|
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 |
|
To the dark and the empty skies |
|
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 lay with you |
|
And 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 |
