"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" lyrics

Hoo, yeah

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 endless sky, my love

First time ever I kissed your lips (Your lips)
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there, oh, there at my command
It was there at my command, my love

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

'Cause the first time ever I saw your face, yeah, yeah, yeah
When I looked deep down into your eyes
You made me say (Yes) and you made me feel (Joy) joy
Like never before, yeah (When I looked in your eyes)
When I looked (Joy) for the very first time, yeah (Yes), hey, hey, hey
Like never before (Don't know 'bout bein' in love)
Talk about love (Love), talk about, oh, joy (Joy)
That I felt deep down, deep down, deep down inside (When I looked in your eyes)
The first time ever I saw your face (Your face)

Your face (Ooh)
Your face (Your face)
Your face
