The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 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 endless skies my love
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move through my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
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 my love
I felt the earth move through my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
I felt your heart so close to mine
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face

This is incredible..you can hear the emotion in Leona's voice, i was almost crying the first time i heard this..:P
me too...... this song is amazing and she sings it so beautifully. stunning.
This is one of the best covers I've ever heard. I like it better than the Roberta Flack, AND Celine Dion version.
