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

@baldpeenhammer Have you ever heard George Michael sing this?? His version makes me cry every time I hear him. She does sing this most perfectly!
-
This is one of the few singers I remeber giving me goose bumps when they sang. I was driving with my mother in 1973 in NJ when I first heard this song. I have loved it ever since.

Well done Ewan MacColl, you did a wonderful job when you wrote this song!
-
@PalaverTwist alica keys' voice does not have the vocal softness that flack puts into key phases of the song.
-
The most intensely beautiful R&B song ever made, I think..The most beatiful love song, ever, I think..
-
an absolutely beautiful voice that sang for our time
-
Someone suggested playing this as a wedding song, but I think its better as a wedding night song if you get my drift. This is one of the best love songs of all time. It should be enshrined somewhere.

If this was the Olympics she would have won the gold medal. This rendition was sung with so much passion and feeling that I don't think it can or ever will be matched by any artist. I love this woman. Priceless, timeless, a classic!
