The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

La canción The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face fue escrita por el compositor de folk británico Ewan MacColl para Peggy Seeger, que en aquel momento era su amante.

La música refleja la profunda admiración y amor de MacColl por Seeger.

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 endless sky, my love.

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth,
I felt the earth move through my hands.
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I laid with you,
I felt your heart so close to mine.
And I know our joy would fill the earth,
And last till the end of time, my love.

The first time ever I saw your face. your face. Your face.
Your face
