Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 



C x2

Dm  G   



    Dm         G        C             

The first time...ever I saw your face, 

Am7                    Em7       F

I thought the sun rose...in your eyes.

C                       G          C

 And the moon and stars...were the gifts you gave,

        Bb                    C 

To the dark...and the endless sky, my love.



        Dm         G        C                 

And the first time...ever I kissed your mouth,

Am7                   Em7          F

I felt the earth move...through my hands.

C                         G              C

 Like the trembling heart...of a captive bird

Bb                        C 

That was there...at my command.



        Dm         G        C             

And the first time...ever I laid with you,

Am7               Em7           F

I felt your heart...so close to mine.

      C            G       C 

And I know our joy...would fill the earth,

    Bb                     C 

And last...till the end of time, my love.



Dm    Dm          C      G   C              Dm             Em7/Bb        

The first time...ever I saw...your...face.      your...face.    Your...face.

C

Your...face
