Lyrics: Ewan MacColl
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' my love
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
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
The first time ever I saw your face
your face' your face' your face
