THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE
Written by Ewan McColl
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies
To the dark and the empty 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
That was there at my command
The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last 'till the end of time, my love
And it would last 'till the end of time, my love
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face
