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 the stars were
The gifts you gave
To the dark
And the end
Of the 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
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 'til the end
Of time...my love
The first time ever
I saw your face
Your face,
Your face,
Your face
