Roberta Flack - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics

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, my love…
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…
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
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…
