The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Lyrics by Ewan McColl
 
 
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 empty skies my love

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move through in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
