The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

This song is over 50 years old, and it is just as beautiful and perfect today. I keep singing it to you over and over, and I can't wait to hold you in my arms...



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.

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.

And the first time ever I lied with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last, and last, and last
till the end of time.

The first time ever I saw your face,
your face, your face, your face.
