First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Vanessa Williams


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 empty skies 
My love
To the dark 
And the empty skies

The first time ever 
I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart 
Moving my head
Like the trembling heart 
Of a captive bird
That was there 
At my command, my love
That was there 
At my command

The first time ever 
I lay with you
I felt the earth 
Move in my hand
I thought our joy 
Would fill the earth
And last 
'Till the end of time 
My love
And last 
'Till the end of time
