| Song 53 "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" |
| Words and Music by Ewan MacColl This song was made famous in the 70's by singer Roberta Flack Lyrics 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 end of the 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 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 The first time ever I saw your face, Your face, Your face, Your face, Your face......................... |
