Roberta Flack - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 1972 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 end of the 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 The first time ever I lay with you And felt your heart so close to mine And I knew our joy it would fill the earth And last 'til the end of time my love The first time ever I saw your face Your face, your face, your face
