The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.

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

to the dark and the endless skies



And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my ha - a - nd,
like a trembling heart of a captive bird,
that was there at my command my love
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
and it would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face
your face
your fa - a - ce
your face
