The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Songtext
von 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 the endless sky

And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hands

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

I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy

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
