First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

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 skies, And 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 --- First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Stereophonics and Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra
