The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Capturing Love's Essence: The First Glimpse of Your Face
Lyrics
The first time ever I saw your face
The initial moment when I first laid eyes on you
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
I believed you were so radiant that it seemed like the sunrise was happening in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
The celestial bodies, including the moon and stars, were metaphorically presented as gifts from you
Were the gifts you gave
Symbolic expression of your profound impact, connecting to vast and infinite possibilities
To the dark and the endless skies
Referring to the vast, mysterious, and expansive nature of the universe
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
The first time I kissed you, I experienced a profound and transformative sensation
I felt the earth move in my hand
I felt a powerful connection, as if the Earth itself responded to our kiss
Like the trembling heart
A simile portraying the intensity of emotion, akin to the trembling heart of a captive bird
Of a captive bird
Highlighting a sense of control and influence over the emotions and reactions of the beloved
That was there at my command, my love
The beloved's presence felt like a command, emphasizing the depth of love and connection
And the first time ever I lay with you
The initial experience of physical intimacy with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
Feeling an intense emotional connection, as if our hearts were intimately intertwined
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
Anticipating that our shared joy would have a profound impact on the world
And last 'til the end of time, my love
Expressing the belief that our joyous connection will endure indefinitely
The first time ever I saw your face
A repetition of the first line, underscoring the significance of the initial encounter
Your face
Emphasizing the visual impact of seeing the beloved's face for the first time
Your face
Repetition for emphasis, underscoring the significance of the beloved's face
Your face
Repetition for emphasis, highlighting the enduring impact of the initial face-to-face encounter
