The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Roberta Flack
60s Memories

The first time ever I saw your faceI thought the sun rose in your eyesAnd the moon and the stars were the gifts you gaveTo the dark and the endless skies, my loveTo the dark and the endless skies

And the first time ever I kissed your mouthI felt the earth move in my handLike the trembling heart of a captive birdThat was there at my command, my loveThat was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with youI felt your heart so close to mineAnd I knew our joy would fill the earthAnd last 'til the end of time, my loveAnd it would last 'til the end of time, my love

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