Roberta Flack - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 1972

Roberta Flack - First Time Ever I Saw Your Face 1972

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

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

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

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

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful love song ever written and I have enjoyed hearing dozens of artists preform it, but NO ONE, NO ONE, NO ONE does it like Roberta Flak, EVER! Hauntingly beautiful!! I am always reduced to tears and wonder...Awe inspiring...

incense, dim lights, wine, good smoke, you're love by you're side, and this playing.

[Haruko Lane]

The best love song since I saw the movie "Play misty for me" with Clint Eastwood. Roberta is the best with this song.

your love by your side

[Christopher Coxon]

One of the most beautiful songs ever.

Definitely, a breath of fresh air. What a singer!

[Kirk Boand]

I fell in love with a woman to this song, my wife of 39 years. I love Roberta's take on this song, which I embedded in my heart in 1969. Thank you Roberta Flack. You are a DIVA of the first order.

Oh, hell, "CJ"...I loved you more than anything in the world, you gave me a son and I STILL managed to f it up beyond all repair. I love you. Period.

I am utterly amazed that 49 people gave this thumbs down , how very sad for them .

[Reverend Eslam]

ALMOST as beautiful as the album version. Sweet!
