Aaron Neville The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics

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, 
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
