| The First Time I Ever
Saw Your Face as by Roberta Flack*, Johnny Cash* - transp. The (B7)first time ever I(E) saw your face (Am) I thought the sun rose (Em7)in your eye(G)s And the (C)moon and the stars(G) were the (C)gifts you gave To the (D)dark and the endless (E)sky - my love The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth turn in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command - my love The first time ever I lay with you And felt your heart beat close to mine I thought our joy would fill the earth And would last 'till the end of time - my love * This version is close to the ones recorded by R. Flack, and J. Cash as well all versions differ very much, I do love the version by Peggy Seeger. |
