This song became a major international hit for Roberta Flack in 1972, winning the Grammy Awards for Record and Song Of The Year. Billboard ranked it as the No. 1 song of the year for 1972.

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.

    Hi Burn, I have never heard this song before, but I have already saw its script somewhere along time ago. It made me impressed. Very lovely lycrics:

    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

    Matt Cardle 's performance was delighted! Even this song is not my style.

    Yup! Since the day I became one of his fans, also subscribed and followed him on youtube.

    Thanks to you too for your attention, Elen.
