The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics

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 To the dark and the empty skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth And felt your heart beat close to mine Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love That was there at my command [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-first-time-ever-i-saw-your-face-lyrics-roberta-flack.html ]
And the first time ever I lay with you I 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 It would last till the end of time my love
The first time ever I saw your face, your face Your face, your face
