The Kingston Trio - The First Time lyrics

rate me

Ewan MacColl

The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun

rose in your eyes and the moon and stars were the gift 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 lips I felt the earth

move in my arms like the trembling heart of a captive dove

That was there at my command, my love, that was there at my command.

The first time ever I held you near and felt your heart

beat close to mine, I felt a joy to fill the earth

And last until the end of time,

my love, and last till the end of time.

Our love will last till the end of time.
