The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

(words & music by ewan maccoll)

The first time ever i saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the empty skies my love

To the dark and the empty skies



The first time ever i kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hands

Like a trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command my love

That was there at my command



Hoa hoa hoa oh oh oh oh oh oh

Woh oh oh oh hoa hoa hoa

Oh hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa

That was there at my command my love

That was there at my command



The first time ever i kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hands

Like a trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command my love

That was there at my command



Hoa hoa hoa oh oh oh oh oh oh

Woh oh oh oh hoa hoa hoa

Oh hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa

That was there at my command my love

That was there at my command
