Written by Ivan Maccoll.
The first time I saw your face, from the first time I saw your face.
I think the sun rises in your eyes. I think the sun rises in your eyes.
The moon and stars are your gifts, and the moon and stars are your gifts.
Give the dark and endless sky (gift) to the dark and endless sky.
Give the dark and empty sky (gift) to the dark and empty sky.
The first time I kissed your mouth, the first time I kissed your lips.
I feel the earth moving in my hands, and I feel the world moving into my palm.
Just like the trembling heart of a fascinated bird, just like the trembling heart of a imprisoned bird.
That's my command, my love. It's in my hand, my love.
This is my order. It just obeys my control.
The first time I lie with you, the first time I lie next to you.
I feel your heart is so close to me.
I know our happiness will fill the whole earth.
Until the end of time, my love until the last moment of my life, my love.
It will last until the end of time, my love. It will exist until the last moment of my life, my love.
I saw your face for the first time
Your face, your face, your face.

See your face for the first time in my life-a great classic song written by Ewan MacColl, a famous American folk singer, for his wife Peggy Seeger in 1957.
At that time, his wife was acting and called to suggest that he write a romantic song for her to use in the play. Ewan MacColl finished the whole creation in less than an hour, and then called his wife to play it.
The first singer to record this song was Roberta Flack, and it was this song that made her quickly popular. That was 1972, fifteen years after Ivan McColl wrote it! Ivan McColl recalled that he gave the lyrics and songs to Morgan Ames in 1966, and Morgan Ames later introduced the songs to Roberta Flach. After I first saw your face on the American charts, it became the number one single and remained number one for six weeks in a row! This hit song "The First Time I Saw Your Face" won the Grammy Award of 1973.
This extremely beautiful song has been covered by many famous artists. A Liverpool girl named Esther has been collecting different versions of The First Time I Saw Your Face since 2002. She said that she had obtained 46 studio versions from 42 singers.
Singers who have covered (or played) this song, Elvis Presley, Grammy winners johnny cash, Mel Thom, Ackell Bilk, Aaron Neville, Isaac Hayes, Gordon Lightfoot, george michael, The Stereophonics, celine dion, Harry Belafonte, Alison Moyer, Vanessa Williams, Georgy Zanfeld, Newell Ole.
This is a love song, with simple lyrics, but wonderful; The tune is beautiful, giving people infinite reverie. My personal favorite version was sung by Harry Belafonte. It is too strong to melt. Of course Celine Dion's performance is impeccable, but I think it seems too perfect, but it's not good. Gheorghe zamfir plays bagpipes on the piano, which is very Scottish! Newell's pure piano performance is really wonderful, and I can never get tired of listening to it.
