Johnny Cash - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics

Artist: Johnny Cash

Album: American IV: The Man Comes Around

Genre: Country

  • Songwriters: Ewan Maccoll

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the 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

And the first time ever I lay 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
