The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics

(duet with linda ronstadt)
(ewan maccoll)

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 endless sky, my love,
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/aaron_neville/the_first_time_ever_i_saw_your_face.html ]
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth,
I felt the earth move in my hand,
Like a 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
And I knew our joy it would fill the earth
And would last til the end of time, my love,
It would last til the end of time

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