The 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 |
|
I felt the earth moon in my hand |
|
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird |
|
That was there at my command, my love |
|
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 |
|
The first time ever I saw your face |
|
your face, your face, your face |
