Vern Gosdin - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics

Lyrics The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Vern Gosdin



(Ewan MacColl)
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.
--- Instrumental ---
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command.
--- Instrumental ---
The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heartbeat close to mine
And I thought our joy would be the world
And would last 'til the end oif time, my love
And would last 'til the end oif time.
Oh the first time ecver I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face...
