The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face [version 1] Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

The first time ever I saw your face 

I saw the sun rise in your eyes 

That the moon and stars were a 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 

And felt the earth move close to mine 

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 never end 

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

And would last till the end of time.
