The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

(album: Rediscovered Love Songs - 2022)

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 the endless skies

And 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

And the first time ever I lay with you
Oh, I felt your heart, oh, so close to mine
And I knew our joy—it would fill the earth
And it would last, oh, 'til the end of time, my love

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