The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
Captivated by Love: The Profound Essence of 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'
Lyrics
The first time ever I saw your face
The initial moment I laid eyes on you for the first time.
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
I believed that your beauty was so profound that it was like witnessing the sunrise in your eyes.
And the moon and the stars
Symbolically, you, with the moon and stars, bestowed precious gifts.
Were the gifts you gave
These gifts were metaphorically given to the dark and empty skies, expressing the depth of your love.
To the dark and the empty skies, my love
Referencing the vastness of the emotional emptiness that your love filled.
To the dark and the endless skies
Repetition emphasizing the vast and infinite nature of your love.
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
The initial moment of kissing your lips.
I felt the earth move in my hands
I experienced a powerful sensation as if the Earth itself moved in my hands during this kiss.
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
Comparing the intensity to the trembling heart of a captive bird under my influence.
That was there at my command, my love
The bird, symbolizing love, obediently responding to my command.
That was there at my command
Reinforcing the control and influence over the love shared.
The first time ever I lay with you
The first occasion of being physically intimate with you.
I felt your heart so close to mine
I felt a deep connection as our hearts were close, signifying emotional intimacy.
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
The belief that our shared joy would be so profound that it would impact the world.
And last till the end of time, my love
Expressing the enduring nature of this joy lasting until the end of time.
And would last till the end of time
Reiteration of the everlasting quality of the shared joy.
The first time ever I saw your face
Returning to the first moment of seeing your face, underscoring its profound impact.
Your face, your face, your face
Repetition of the impact and significance of seeing your face.
