Lyrics:

(ROBERTA FLACK)

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 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, 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 TILL THE END OF TIME

THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE, YOUR FACE,
YOUR FACE, YOUR FACE
