THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE Written by Ewan McColl
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 endless skies To the dark and the empty 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 That was there at my command
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 And it would last 'till the end of time, my love The first time ever I saw your face Your face, your face, your face
