[MsBrown1953]

[SoMuchKoolerOnline]

This song is the Brahms lullaby of a parent's heart when you see your child sleeping and growing in that first year of life with such tiny hands and feet---like being witness to a miracle. Then they reach age 2 and a half and you realize that each nap means they're recharging their batteries and it's all you can do to keep up with their energy level.

[kilesmyle]

[katiejones1995]

this song is the song my sister will be playing when her and her new husband have there first dance after there weding -bet she will cry- i may to :')

[kellex07]

request this song for my baby caera.

[jbyesterday]

I don't usually stray from original versions, but this one does it for me. A heavenly & silky journey through the clouds in an airtight glider with nothing but beautiful Sun skies,mountains,trees & oceans......oh & a safe landing - of course !

[71morehead]

@jbyesterday the version by Peter Paul and Mary was recorded in 1965, Flack's was in 1972. I like this better than Flack's but PPM will always be my favorite because it is sung in a major key, as opposed to this and Roberta's recorded in a minor key.

[carmello300]

the very first time 

[KubullyChiik]

when i heard the advert. i knew it was leona becuase she has such a soothing tone of voice.. makes you wana sleeep (: lol

[taurusangel07]

ten thousand times better than matt.....his was all right but it doesn't even compare to leona........she's like in another league....

[LiSaLoVeSBeNnY]

ANDREA IST BESSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-* xD

[1BHAFC1]

Compare this to Roberta Flack's version-no contest. This is so insipid.

[karacter28]

@1BHAFC1 That's because Roberta Flack wrote it for Jesse Jackson. There was some deep meaning behind it, not just some lyrics on a page. Leona's version has some pretty moments, though.

[1BHAFC1]

@karacter28

I think you'll find this song was actually written in 1957 by Ewan MacColl (Kirsty MacColl's father) for his wife Peggy Seeger. Her version is on You Tube somewhere.

[karacter28]

@1BHAFC1 @karacter28 Thanks! She may not have written it for him, but she sure did sing it for him!

[JosiiOderSou]

It is balm for the heart and the soul. BEAUTiFUL !

[nerdy5746]

leona is so beautiful, her eyes a soothing yet stern grey shade, skin tanned perfectly, voice so beautiful, and mystical, i just find myself listening to eat again and again, each time i get into a trance safe from my thoughts

[TheSupershooter]

@nerdy5746 i feel the same way she's a godess

[nerdy5746]

@nerdy5746 lol i ment to it again and again i put eat again and again

[SaraandSureha96]

Matt did blow me away, Leona is incredible too!

I hope matt wins<3

I like and love Matt Cardle singing this song. He has got an amazing voice. Good luck Matt. I hope you win the x-factor competition for this year. Love you.

[DorisHenrique]

I prefer Matt Cardles version

[2010MissCooper]

@DorisHenrique Leona's is a cover, the song is roberta flacks originally. Yet non of these artist 'Apposedly captured the emotion' said the song writer

[bencookie666]

[monleo1705]

I came here after listening Matt sing this beautifully on X factor!! Love him and Leona!

[dancingsatyr]

@monleo1705 me too! :) we did the same thing !

[63striker]

I'm certain that Roberta would be very proud of this tribute to her classic.

[stubones]

@63striker Roberta sung this beautifully, but it is not her song. "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is a 1957 folk song written by political singer/songwriter Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger"

[63striker]

@stubones OK, thanks -  I learned something tonight.

I love Leona, Roberta and Celine (bout covers it).

[stubones]

@63striker :)) Even though I am a rock fan, I love this song, no matter who sings it.. go figure!

[viareggio69]

[TheAirhole1]

[etmax1]

[didnthurt]

[357chronic]

hard tune

[maddison2512]

all I can say is this is absolutely beautiful! Leona's voice is unique and I can't listen to her enough! Amazing. What a Star!! xxxxx

[1goodworld]

Not bad, but David Cook sings it much better !

[zigAzee]

I saw Leona sing this live last night, and although some people may think to see a good performance live it has to be really fast and with a strong beat (something to dance to) however, just watching this gorgeous girl sing this truely beautiful version of such a moving song made me feel so emotional - I was shivering because her voice was so incredible. No words can describe it. Just to sit and watch her, I felt so completely privileged and honoured to experience such a feeling. Incredible.

[xXxwhittxXx]

@zigAzee i went to see her too!! :),

[damo89000]

unreal best women to come fro x factor magical

[JonathanGardnerTV]

This has to be the best rendition of this song omg *sniff sniff*

[Eurafrican]

this makes me think of my new love :)

[Cienna0928]

I have always loved this song.. I saw Roberta Flack perform it in concert many years ago. I have to say I feel Leona Lewis beautifully does a delivery and rendition of this song more than justice. Her voice transcends to a level of heartfelt strength and emotion that leaves me completely awestruck. A beautiful voice, from a beautiful person.. that takes the words and sings this song.. leaving my eyes to well with tears and deep sitrred emotions.

[TaylorRBarbie]

@Cienna0928 essay tiiings 

[marylocks92]

OMG SO BEAUTIFUL *tear

[mschocoland]

Absolutely Awesome version of this song!!!

[basebll4lfe12]

This proves her amazing talent as a vocalist!!!!!!!!!

[anmaciain]

Well, Roberta Flack set the pattern, right?

[noizek79]

Michel Legrand a voer well known conductor all over the world came over the Philippines to collaborate with Regine Velasquez.

Legrand has composed more than two hundred film and television scores, several musicals, and made well over a hundred albums. He has won three Oscars (out of 13 nominations), five Grammys, and has been nominated for an Emmy.

Regine got better version of this song., I also like her versions.

[BerryBlossom99]

[progressivefx]

The first time I ever saw your face. Yilana. Dubai. 2003.

[asmahan2000]

My favorite song of all time...

[nayre13]

La primera vez que vi tu rostro

Pensé que el sol se elevó en tus ojos

Y la luna y las estrellas

Fueron los regalos que tu diste

A la oscuridad y los cielos vacíos mi amor

Tu carita, Tu mirar , tu dulce boca, la manera de amar...Te AMO mi CHOCOLATITO..eduardo Segovia..

[levdt]

a truly wonderfully tender song, written by Ewan Maccoll way back in 1957 and made their own since then by a succession of wonderful female singers including this one.

[yourcontact26]

for the first time i saw your face was 12 years ago...........i still remember and i will remember in 50 years

[VixieMusic]

This song makes me cry as it is how i feel about someone... i thought he felt the same and yet the other day he said we're on a break and he needs to think and doesn't know if he wants to be with me anymore.

[fairyflower79]

it's really ruff, i know what you're going through and how you feel. i thought that's how my ex fiance' felt about me too, but i've been single for almost a year now.

[PurpleGurl82]

The first time I ever saw your face - I thought the sun rose in your eyes...........I love you now and forever - I only wish you knew. xxx

[marksamuelcohen]

I know now Purplegurl.....I know now. Thank you, and please know that I too feel the same! PS Keep the rubber side down and as always, I'll see you at Sturgis. Carry on.

[sweetyangel336]

[viewpoints3]

And...everytime I hear this...

It is "like the First Time."

And "I will..

Love You,

[LeonaLoonatic]

This is so beautiful xx

[littlebay75]

this is totally beautiful like leona

[19glitabug65]

i think crap ..she starting to sound same old same now love the words but she dont half ball it up

[3373157]

Actually, the closest rendition of the Ewan McColl original is Barbara Dickson. Very sincere and without all these vocal gymnastics

[TEB1952]

3373157: I am going to listen to Barb's version. I think PPM's version cannot be topped, but I will see.

[DEMAGEO]

I love you Sexy. Thank you for allowing me to appreciate this song like never before. Remember...ALWAYS!

[TheLinus01]

Beautiful!!! I take offense to the last

comment. I don't care if you are black

white yellow pink red blue, I don't need to see those kind of slurs, just stupidity!!

[troy88991]

nice, this nigga sing good ;))

[lizstew1]

absolutely fantastic well done leona you are one magnificant singer love you to bits xxxxxxxxxxxxx one of your admirers as a songstress

[britneymiriam]

it's simply fantastic....

[Tat2s1]

This is for Cissie2420's information. Ewen Macoll an English folk singer wrote it in 1957 when his wife Peggy Seegel was in a play and needed a song. He wrote it in only 30min's and then taught it to her over the phone. Then Roberta Flack brought it mainstream in 72.

[Tat2s1]

Roberta Flack tho very talented was not the original singer, and Alison Moyet and her rendition of the song was ok to me. It wasn't haunting or soulful, it was rather hippie'ish and belted. But all in all I love this song.

[HorsesnKittens]

Man, she is sooooo talented!!! She can't do no wrong. What a GREAT version well done. Makes me want to cry. OMG!!!! GREAT!

[cissie2420]

For all those interested...to hear this song done by the masteress, look up Roberta Flack. Pure listening pleasure. THE ORIGINAL! Nicely covered versions though by Laure Hill and and Leona Lewis

[alowaaaaa]

Sure thing except Roberta Flack just popularized it Its not even the original :D

[cissie2420]

Really? Do tell... who did original alowaaaaa?

[woolwichlad]

"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is a 1957 folk song written by Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger, who was later to become his wife.

[kramdam1]

branbhgjn

[mysay2u]

David Cook sung it the best his voice was so haunting it almost makes you cry look him up and listen

[kingyinb]

[mariosupersmash11]

Disagree, Aalison Moyet's rendtion is by far the best. Alison sings it raw, as it should be...This is flowery!!

[ianclivewright]

absolutely, spot on.

[TheTemkade]

[xuanlane]

Many singers sing this song, but this is the best.

[ladynahbrown]
