The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE
(Shirley Bassey)









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 endless 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
I 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 would last
Till the end of time

The first time
Ever I saw
Your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
