Peter, Paul and Mary - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time I saw your face
I thought the Sun rose in your eyes

a song about love at first sight to whom believe in it!

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

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.

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hands

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That must stay at my command, my love.

And 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 and last and last till the end of time, my love.

The first time ever I saw your face, your face,

your face, your face.
