The First Time (Ever I Saw Your Face) (Mixed Rehearsal)
(Ewan McColl, Arr.: Ko-Do 2017)



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 

And the first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heartbeat close to mine
I knew a joy would fill the earth
And would last 'till the end of time my love
And would last 'till the end of time
