Roberta Flack The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics
Songwriters: Maccoll, Ewan
The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were gifts you gave to the dark and the endless skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was then at my command
My love
The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last til the end of time
My love
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
I love to listen to certain love songs while appropriating the meaning between Jesus and me. (You have to really know Him to understand what I'm trying to say.) Even the reference in this song to the consummated physical expression of human love in the 3rd stansa can, in truth, be seen as a biblical reference theologically to the highest possible expression of experiencing the relational love between human believer and HIM! The greek words literally refer to this meaniing being "intercourse!" Anyway, sensuality is NOT implied at all in what I'm trying to express here. I hope readers understand ... and if not, read the Gospel of John asking HIM to reveal this love to you! Blessings!
The first time ever I saw your face, Loren, smiling at me, I almost did think the sun rose in your eyes... your beautiful, expressive blue eyes! The moon and the stars weren't gifts from you, but you sure enhanced them greatly in my heart, dear man of God!!
