The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics
Song information
Artist: Gordon Lightfoot Album: Lightfoot!
Lyrics
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 empty skies my love To the dark and the empty skies The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth turn 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 beat close to mine I thought our joy would fill the earth And would last 'till the end of time my love And would last 'till the end of time
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 empty skies my love To the dark and the empty skies
