Aaron Neville - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics

The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the endless sky, my love And the first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hand Like a 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 it would fill the earth And would last til the end of time, my love It would last til the end of time The first time ever I saw, saw your face Your face, your face, your face, your face
