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 ENDLESS SKIES, MY LOVE TO THE DARK AND THE ENDLESS SKIES., MY LOVE AND THE FIRST TIME,EVER I KISSED YOUR MOUTH I FELT THE EARTH MOVE IN MY HAND LIKE THE TREMBLING HEART OF A CAPTIVE BIRD THAT WAS THERE AT MY COMMAND, MY LOVE THAT WAS THERE AT MY COMMAND, MY LOVE AND THE FIRST TIME EVER I LAY WITH YOU I FELT YOUR HEART BEATING CLOSE TO MINE AND I KNEW THE JOY WOULD FILL THE EARTH AND WILL LAST UNTIL THE END OF TIME, MY LOVE AND IT WILL LAST UNTIL THE END OF TIME, MY LOVE THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE YOUR FACE RECORDED BY ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK.THIS IS A MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG.AND THE WORDS ARE SENDING A POWERFUL MESSAGE.I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO MEET ENGELBERT IN MY LIFETIME, AND TO KNOW HIS HAIRDRESSER AS A FRIEND.MAY YOU REST IN PEACE, WERNER OESTREICH. THIS SONG IS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE I HAVE PERSONALLY KNOWN AND LOST, NOT IN AN INTIMATE WAY BUT AS FRIENDS. |
