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
And 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
And 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
Your face, your face, your face

I don't know why...but the first time and ever since I had heard this song...I always cry like crazy...don't know why..it just makes me think of the mom I never met. she died.
the birth of my children....
When I hear this song, I begin to feel extremely spiritual... As though I am in a church, and it reminds me of the burning of insense for some strange reason. Such a beautiful song.
