"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" lyrics
(originally by Ewan MacColl)
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
The moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless sky
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
The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy could fill the earth
And last 'til the end of time
It will last, it will last 'til the end of time
It will last 'til the end of time
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
The moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless sky
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
The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy could fill the earth
And last 'til the end of time
It will last, it will last 'til the end of time
It will last 'til the end of time
