The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Isaac Hayes

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 night and the empty skies my love

to the night and the empty skies

the first time ever i kissed your mouth

i felt the earth turn in my hand

like the 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

and felt your heart beat close to mine

i thought our joy would fill the earth

and would last 'till the end of time my love

and would last 'till the end of time

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 night and the empty skies my love

to the night and the empty skies
