FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE (PLAY MISTY FOR ME, 1971)

One of the most beautiful song ever recorded was sang by Roberta Flack used in the film Play Misty For Me. The story centers around Dave, a dics jockey (Clint Eastwood) who was chased and later harrassed by a demented fan named Evelyn Draper (a Golden Globe nominated role by Jessica Walter). A classy suspense film in the '70s from one classy director that was Clint Eastwood.

FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE

sung by: Roberta Flack

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and stars were the gift you gave

To the dark and the endless skies, my love

To the dark and the end of the skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hand

Like a trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love

That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you

And 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

And it would last till the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face

Your face

Your face

Your face
