The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (2006 Remaster)

Roberta Flack
Album : The Very Best Of Roberta Flack

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
To the dark and 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 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
And it would last
til the end of time my love
The first time
ever I saw your face
Your face your face your face
