THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE

Written by Ewan McColl

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 skies

To the dark and the empty skies

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

That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you

And felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last 'till the end of time, my love

And it would last 'till the end of time, my love

The first time ever I saw your face

Your face, your face, your face
