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 stars
were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth moon 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 till the end of time my love
The first time ever I saw your face
your face, your face, your face
