Wedding Song: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face Lyrics

The song, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" sung by Roberta Flack, is particularly beautiful and may prove perfect for dancing to at your wedding. The question is: who is dancing to the song? It may work for a bride and groom. It has also come up as a possibility for a mother-son dance... but then, one may wish to examine the lyrics first. "Lay with you?" Hmmm. Questionable. I don't know, you could think of that as a mommy with her little baby, though. I guess it's open to interpretation!

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

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 dark and the end of the skies

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last, till the end of time, my love

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