Lyrics The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Bertie Higgins

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

And 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

And the first time ever I laid with you
I felt your heart close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the Earth
And last 'til the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face
Your face, your face
