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...
