The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Gordon Lightfoot The first time ever I saw your face To the night and the empty skies my love I thought the sun rose in your eyes To the night and the empty skies And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave I felt the earth turn in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird The first time ever I kissed your mouth That was there at my command my love The first time ever I lay with you I thought our joy would fill the earth That was there at my command And felt your heart beat close to mine And would last 'till the end of time my love And would last 'till the end of time And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave The first time ever I saw your face To the night and the empty skies my love I thought the sun rose in your eyes To the night and the empty skies |
