First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your [D]eye[C] s
And the moon and stars were the
[D]gifts you gave[C]
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
[D]To the[C] dark and the empty ski[D]es
[C]The [D]fir[G]st tim[C]e ever I kissed your mou[G]th
[D]I felt the earth m[C]ove in my h[D]and[C]
Like [D]the trembling [G]heart [C]of a c[G]aptive bir[D]d
[C]That [D]was [F]there [C]at my command, my
[D]Lord
That [F]was there [C]at my [D]command
The first [G]time [C]ever I lay wit[G]h you
[D]And felt your heartbeat [C]close [D]to mine[C]
I [D]thought [C]our joy would fill the [D]earth an[C]d
would [F]last [C]till the end of time, [D]my love,
[C]an d would last till the end [D]of time.
And the [G]first time [C]ever I saw your [G]face,
[D]I t[G]hought the sun[C] rose in your eye[D] s.[C]
And [G]the moon and [C]stars
were the gifts you [D]gave.
To [C]the dark and the empty skies, [D]my love
To [C]the dark and the empty [D]skies
