The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

"From the night you conquered my soul till this
day you made me a prisoner of your love,
you have given me tremendous happiness
unequalled by any joy that I have
ever had in my whole existence..
Just a simple message, just a simple smile,
they shine like a thousand suns in my day.
Thank you so much for
breathing life into my soul..."

The First Time 
Ever I Saw Your Face
Roberta Flack
Words & Music by Ewan MacColl

Dm            G       C                    C-Em
The first time ever I saw your face
Am                   Em                    F
    I thought the sun rose in your eyes
              Gsus4                                 C
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave 
          Bb                       C
to the dark and empty skies, my love


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 would fill the earth
And last till the end of time, my love
Dm             G         C  G  C
The first time ever I saw      your face
Bb            C                 Bb
  Your face,   your face
         C
Your face...
