A Captive Bird


First Time Ever I Saw Your Face


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

And felt your heart beat close to mine

Like the 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

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last till the end of time my love

It would last till the end of time my love


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



This is one of my favorite songs, originally performed by Roberta Flack. Do yourself a favor and listen to it. You're welcome :)


Happy Valentine's Day kittens. Do good things.
