The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

The first time ever I saw your face 

I thought the sun rose in your eyes 

And the moon and the stars were the gift you gave 

To the dark and the empty skies, my love 

To the dark and the empty skies 

 

The first time ever I kissed your mouth 

I felt the earth turn 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 beat close to mine 

I thought our joy would fill the earth 

And last till the end of time, my love 

And last till the end of time 

 

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 the empty skies, my love 

To the dark and the empty skies
