Johnny Cash - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics

Lyrics First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Johnny Cash



The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gift you gave
To the dark and the empty skies my love
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move through my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart beat so close to mine
And I know our joy would fill the earth
And last 'till the end of time, my love
The first time ever I saw your face
