Gosdin, Vern - 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 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 mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like a 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
I felt your heartbeat close to mine
And I thought our joy would be the world
And would last 'til the end of time, my love
Oh the first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face

Gosdin, Vern The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Comments
Man, what a voice! I cry for all the losses we have had of our country voices! George, Keith, Merle, Vern, Conway, Marty, Lefty, Glen, Mel ( Tillis and Street), Buck and so many more! I miss those days!
Beyond beautiful!
rip VERN
WOW, this is so Beautiful, the Best voice ever, I just love it, thank you for uploading this !!!
The first time ever I tried this song ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zupxh0LPSf4
Beautiful!
WOW..DIDN`T KNOW VERN DID THIS ONE...ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL...R.I.P.
He sings my life.
What a beautiful voice...RIP
Oh that voice.... those low notes... No one can even come close to Vern Gosdin!
Vern Gosdin does this song honour with his beautiful rendition. I'm a Canadian and have thought of Gordon Lightfoot's as the definitive version of it. Lightfoot, a Canadian singer/songwriter, wrote it. Now I know there's room in the world for exactly two renditions of it. This is as good as it gets! Thanks, Eddie, for putting this on.
Paul Fleming, G. Lightfoot was a talented writer but this was not his song. It was written by Ewan MacColl for his then girlfriend Peggy Seeger; they're Brits, the year was 1957 in the song's published credits.
What a special man, can't get enough of his voice.
I have heard this song sung by many and none have done it better than The Voice. I would loved to have heard Keith Whitley sing this song.
Agree connie.
Beautiful day.
Exquisite rendition of this song as only Vern Gosdin could sing it.
This version is my fav, it has a timeless beauty and magic to it for me <3

I love this song, Vern is so special, This reminds me of the time I got off the plane and met my southern gentleman and saw his face for the first time and fell madly in love , Thank you Vern for all the wonderful songs you left us You will surely be missed,
Written by Kirsty's Father Ewan MacCall, this to me is the best version ever, what a great voice Vern possesses.
The more I hear Vern songs the more I love them so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vern was a gift to us!
