The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Vocabulary from Roberta Flack: 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'.
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
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 fa-ace
Your face
