My life's background music from 1979

We have all watched movies and television shows and recognize there is background music playing. The music usually places emphasis on the scene taking place on screen... killer lurking, triumph, love scene, etc.  
Well here are the lyrics to my life's background music from 1979, first love... enjoy.  

Roberta Flack

"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"

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 end of the skies

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

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

The first time ever I saw your face
