Cash, Johnny - 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 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 'til the end of time, my love.

The first time ever I saw your face.

Cash, Johnny First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Comments
  1. F.... T....

    Utterly Amazing!!!!

  2. J.... H....

    The only version that comes close to equaling Roberta Flack's version. This man was a messenger from God (Whatever God may be) to all humanity.)

  3. M.... ....

    If there would be any male to sing this tune he had to match this artist, Johnny ´d make it anyway

  4. Z.... O....

    Wish they played this whilst rolling the credits on walk the line film..
    Brilliant film..

  5. S.... H....

    MON ETOILE MON AMOUR MA VIE... 💘
    Ce soir j'aurais le temps de faire un texte pour TOI mon étoile..
    TE AMO ♥️ MUCHO MUCHO MUCHO !!!!!

  6. D.... R....

    2020, con mezcal, para escucharlo aún mejor.

  7. K.... R....

    Yes could not wish for a more beautiful son and and daughter

  8. C.... L....

    Yes, to my Gracie. Love, momma.

  9. R.... S....

    Like Fur Elise, this song is a masterpiece and timeless. I have enjoyed many who sang it, but this is the first time I heard the Great Johnny Cash sing it. Memorable and beautiful.

  10. S.... ....

    Chichi ,thought your were really when I came out of a coma. Thought you you were when the moment I met you thought you were when we had our children. But that's all they are right? Thoughts, the imgination of nothingness and everything .

  11. K.... J....

    i m sculptor painter and poet so we deserve each other bob dylan

  12. K.... J....

    yes ohny i stell need some cash

  13. D.... B....

    Somehow he gives so much meaning to each word, to each phrase in this song. I was amazed.

  14. A.... A....

    Love comes to me like a magnificent 🦅 Man

  15. I.... K....

    Happy Xmas to the heart broken....

  18. A.... d....

    Would love to have heard him sing this in his early 40's

  19. A.... D....

    I used to listen to this song to comfort me when thinking about my dear grandmother. In my eyes as a child she was my real mother. Who gave me the love I needed, I was abused terribly as a child, very frightened and shy, but she filled me with joy, love and enthusiasm. My Father, my best friend and my double passed away this year, January. And I've lost the biggest piece of inner self. My mind, soul and body. Everytime I hear this song I reel in the years of my childhood, where my father would protect me, offer me love friendship. And I was always his little 'monkey', gestures of calling Daddy to hear yessy. Well the first time and last time I ever saw your face Dad, I saw the sun moon and stars and the weight of you haunts me. But I try everyday. Bless me and I'll meet you further on up the road

  20. S.... E....

    Sung with such feeling his voice broken with sadness .
    ⭐ BEAUTIFUL ⭐

  21. R.... O....

    One of the most beautifully heart touching songs I've ever heard

  22. C.... M....

  39. S.... D....

    Can you imagine him dueting with Aretha?

  40. S.... D....

    All sorts of thing's come back...

  41. S.... D....

    God,I'm depressed today.

  42. S.... D....

    One of the few truly brilliant men to come from America!!

  43. S.... D....

    I believe the 'thumbs down" ,to this, deserve pity!! And should learn to let themselves go.

    S.... D....

    Steeve Daw haters just hating because they have no soul.
    Jealous people, ignorant people, and liberal retards that have no talent, that’s who hate.

  52. D.... ....

    She had cheekbones to die for.

  53. S.... L....

    Oh my heart....be still

  54. l.... ....

    Crying crying crying listening to this for the first time . ...

  55. M.... J....

    Absolutely one of the most tender and passionate songs I've ever heard, & was the exemplary feeling I had with my first love, and fitting reaction to my first real love. She made me feel this exact way. It might be cliche but that is exactly the feeling I had the very first time I saw her, and life was amazing! Then after 10 amazing years together she died and my world crashed. I can't help but tear up every time I hear Roberta sing this lovely song.

    The GREAT Johnny Cash.

  80. H.... W....

    Johnny is so amazing. Love how he does this song. He gives me shivers !!

  81. B.... T....

    It looks like Elvis looked up to Johnny even though he was thought to be the bigger star, but he wasn’t

    B.... T....

    They were all just poor southern country boys given a deal by Sun Records I don't think Elvis forgot who he was or where he came from.

    B.... T....

    Anna Vajda I think he probably did but not when he was around somebody real like Johnny Cash

  82. C.... B....

    R. I. P

  83. N.... R....

    Never forget those times!! 😒

  86. s.... l....

    💔💔

  87. a.... d....

    Con lo cual,creo, quedará testimoniado mi respeto a tan gran cantor.

  88. a.... d....

    Cantaba lindo eso sí.
    Pero yo,a decir verdad ni idea lo que decía.

  89. a.... d....

    Ahora todos,o casi, bueno algunos resulta que somos entendidos en Johnny Cash.

  90. K.... R....

    Such a beautiful, beautiful song.

  91. P.... /....
