The first time ever I saw your face performed by Pamela Kavanagh. www.freelandmusicservices.com Photography by www.elementalweddings.co.uk Written by Ewan MacColl "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is a 1957 folk song written by Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger, who was later to become his wife. MacColl wrote the song for Seeger, a folk singer, after she asked him to pen a song for a play she was in. MacColl wrote the song and taught it to Seeger over the phone. The alternative version of the creation of this song is that MacColl, a political singer was challenged by a friend to write a love song. This song was the result. The song, as performed by Seeger, featured a faster tempo than the Flack version and clocked in at two and a half minutes long. The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the empty skies, my love, To the dark and the empty skies. The first time ever I kissed your mouth And felt your heart beat close to mine Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love That was there at my command. 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 till the end of time my love It would last till the end of time my love The first time ever I saw your face, your face, your face, your face
