Osborne, Jeffrey - 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 ended skies,

And 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,

And the very first time - ever I lay with you
I felt your heart - so close to mine
An I know our joy - would fill the earth
And last and last and last, and last
Til the end of time, my love,
ooh, and the first time - ever I saw your face
Your face, your face...

    Osborne is a fine singer and his rendition is well worth hearing.
    For me, however, Roberta Flack's rendition remains the best. Although I much admire Johnny Cash's performance as well --

  4. B.... C....

    Lovely recording up there with george michael

  5. m.... ....

    Wow. I never heard this version before. He's giving Roberta a run for her money. I like the Latin flavor too. Nice arrangement.

  6. R.... W....

    The Voice- Vern Gosdin version is smoother, but I enjoy the mellowness of Jeffrey's version too. The song is just a classic.

  7. I.... N....

    First time hearing his rendition of this song.  I've always loved his voice.

  8. P.... K....

    This song is a timeless classic. Jeffrey did the song justice -- just beautiful! I will be remarrying in a few months (my first love passed away from cancer a few years ago)! This song truly expresses my sentiment of finding a REAL and TRUE love again! This will be the song to which we dance our first dance as husband and wife! #loverulesagain

    By Far...THE BEST Version of this timeless CLASSIC portrayal of love at first sight. (and i am a Celine Deion FAN. Her version is next, BUT the background with the Latin Swing is astonishing and made me almost hear an ocean tide rushing in the background.
