The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Songtext
von Mary Travers

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies my love
To the dark and the empty 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 laid with you
And felt your heartbeat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the world
And would last till the end of time my love
And will last till the end of our time
