The First Time Ever
(La premiere fois)

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 lips 
I felt the earth move in my hand 
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 help you me
And felt your heart beat close to mine 
I thought our joy would fill the earth 
And last 'till the end of time my love
And last 'till the end of time
The first time ever I saw your face
 (E. McColl)
