The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics

(words & music by ewan maccoll)The first time ever I saw your faceI thought the sun rose in your eyesAnd the moon and stars were the gifts you gaveTo the dark and the empty skies my loveTo the dark and the empty skiesThe first time ever I kissed your mouthI felt the earth move in my handsLike a trembling heart of a captive birdThat was there at my command my loveThat was there at my commandHoa hoa hoa oh oh oh oh oh ohWoh oh oh oh hoa hoa hoaOh hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa hoaThat was there at my command my loveThat was there at my commandThe first time ever I kissed your mouthI felt the earth move in my handsLike a trembling heart of a captive birdThat was there at my command my loveThat was there at my commandHoa hoa hoa oh oh oh oh oh ohWoh oh oh oh hoa hoa hoaOh hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa hoaThat was there at my command my loveThat was there at my command
