Roberta Flack – The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics 12 years ago
The perfect love song, charting the progress of a love that took over this person.
Quite perfect. Although Roberta Flack sings this, it is equally applicable to both men and women.

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 endless skies

This is love at first sight is it not? She is dazzling, stunning as creation itself.

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 was there, at my command, my love

This is what love should be like. Yet so few of us would have experienced what has been conveyed in these lyrics. It's also about a power the singer has in this relationship and how he guards and treasures the most precious life in his hand .

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, til the end of time, my love

Enough said. Simply perfection.

The first time, ever I saw
Your face, your face
Your fa-ace, your face

The death of a soldier would have been a shit title. I guess this was better,

Gonna close my eyes
Girl and watch you go
- Clearly he's saying goodbye as his love drifts from his conscious thoughts.

Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow
He's seeing his life represented by snow which would usually fade in time as the seasons pass. Now his life is as powder snow in a field

As the tracer glides
In its graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
'cross the falling dark

The tracer bullets are arcing across the sky above him as he watches it grow dark either in the sky or in his view as consciousness fades.

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love

Is it perhaps 'the reaper man' who is coming to collect him and deliver him to her?


Perfect summers night
Not a wind that breathes
Just the bullets whispering gentle
'mongst the new green leaves

Clearly in a conflict among the grass and bush, yet he has time to contextualise it as a perfect summers night. He would rather be whispering gentle to her but only the bullets are talking.

There's things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I'm leaking life faster
Then I'm leaking blood

He recognises the end is coming at pace and regrets the things he didn't get to say.

Tell the repo man
And the stars above
You're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love

Don't see Elysium
Don't see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the bay hotel
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won't you take my hand darling
On that old dance floor

We can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you're the one I love
You're the one I love
The one I love

All the rest has been covered.
