The first time ever I saw your face
Gordon Lightfoot Lyrics

The first time ever I saw your face
The first time I saw you, I was taken aback by how stunning you were.

I thought the sun rose in your eyes
Your eyes are such a bright, captivating shade, it's as if they light up the world and bring warmth to it.

And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
Being with you under the night sky is like being given a priceless gift - the stars and the moon add to the magic of the moment, but your presence is what really makes it special.

To the night and the empty skies my love To the night and the empty skies
Even the emptiness and vastness of the night sky seems less daunting and lonely with you by my side, my love.

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
Kissing you was a moment of pure bliss that gave me feelings I had never experienced before.

I felt the earth turn in my hand
It was like the whole world shifted, and my grasp on everything around me seemed more significant and tangible than it ever had before.

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command my love That was there at my command
When I kissed you, it felt like my every desire was being fulfilled, and you were willingly succumbing to my every wish and want, so that it felt as though you were entirely at my mercy.

The first time ever I lay with you
When I first lay with you, I felt a sense of completeness and oneness that I had never felt before.

And felt your heart beat close to mine
Being this close to you, feeling your heartbeat in time with mine, was like finding a piece of myself that had been missing all along.

I thought our joy would fill the earth
Our happiness and love felt so intense and never-ending that it seemed like it could spread across the earth and touch every living being.

And would last 'till the end of time my love And would last 'till the end of time
Our love was so powerful that it seemed like it could transcend time itself, forever burning bright in our hearts and shining out into the world.

The first time ever I saw your face
Just like when I first met you, every time I see your face, I am struck by how breathtaking you are.

I thought the sun rose in your eyes
Your eyes still have the ability to light up the world and bring warmth to it, every time I look at them.

And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the night and the empty skies my love To the night and the empty skies
Every moment spent with you under the night sky remains special, like I am being given a priceless gift every time. Your presence makes even the emptiness and vastness of the night less daunting and lonely.
