Alison Moyet - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics
The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gift you gave
To the dark and empty skies (my love)
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 lay with you
And felt your heart beat over mine
And I thought our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
And last to the end of time

Alison Moyet The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Comments
what a voice...
Still roberta flack the original version is the best this beautiful songs really belongs only to her voice
Roberta's version is great, but not the original 🙂
Gary Angangan Ewan MacColl song
Stereophonics version is the best I've heard.....
i love her voice but this one doesn't quite work for me
This is the best tune ever put on youtube, tellin ya
No one sings this better than her
delivers authentic Pete Seeger intonations.
Best version of this song ever, her voice and those guitars are fucking awesome.
gives you goosebumps
Very good song, much different from the Roberta Flack hit (which I also like a lot). I have the CD comp portrayed in the video, among other Alison Moyet material.
But I've always felt this is one of those songs that is something of a missed opportunity, and could have been improved much more. An 8 that could have been a 9.5 ...
sorry I'd have to disagree.. it's one of my all time favourite recordings of Alison Moyet, this , You dont have to go and this house are recordings where you can feel her singing from the heart
