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 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
The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time, my love,
The first time ever I saw your face
your face, your face, your face...
Lyrics by the amazing Roberta Flack, sentiments all mine
