Honestly, I have never heard that song before. Until I watched Matt Cardle performed the song in the  X-Factor music competition. And I completely stunning with his outstanding performance. His voice is so spine-tingling!

I noticed that many singers have been singing the song for many years. For examples Celine Dion, Leona Lewis, George Michael and so on but I was absolutely mesmerized with Matt Cardle. Anyway, it just my humble opinion. How about you, guys?

First Time Ever I saw Your Face lyrics.

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 endless skies

And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart
Of a captive bird
That was there, at my command, my love

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, til the end of time, my love

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

Another record of the song:
Thank you guys. Have a nice day.
