The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack

Last time I saw you You arrived with someone else And I was happy just to see you But I kept it to myself Last time I saw you Your hair had gotten long And the people I was sitting with Asked me what was wrong Last time I saw you We did not even talk I had gotten high And then I wished that I had not And the last time I saw you I don't know where we were It could've been a birthday But it wasn't mine or yours I don't know why it's always bleeding at the edges Why that whole night keeps on tearing at the seams I guess it might be that this is just a bunch of guesses I'm told that you left early I can't speak to that at all But if you were wearing a jacket Then it must've been the fall Did we smile at each other For a moment through the crowd? Well, even if we didn't, hell It's nice to think about Last time I saw you It was a year or more ago And I would've made a bigger deal But how was I to know? I don't remember every detail But I keep on trying to 'Cause last time I saw you Was the last time I saw you

Beggin' me to stay And then you walk away There's something that you wanted to say I was in a rush But you said you were crushed And I said I'd be back, it's okay I wish I'da hugged you tighter the last time that I saw you I wish I didn't waste precious time that night when I called you I wish I remembered to say I'd do anything for you Maybe I pushed you away because I thought that I'd bore you Listen, so close but we were so distant Wish I'da known in that instant Ignored the hints or I missed it I, killed it You'd always be in attendance No flights but always attendant Handwritten letter, you penned it Them nights we wished never ended Those rules that we wish we bended Heartbreak that we never mended Those messages we unsended Best friends we somehow unfriended Ain't care 'bout who we offended Parties they wish we attended Got drunk and laughed, it was splendid I wish I'da hugged you tighter the last time that I saw you I wish I didn't waste precious time that night when I called you I wish I remembered to say I'd do anything for you Maybe I pushed you away because I thought that I'd bore you Starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight Wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight Starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight Wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight Bombs away, bombs away Bombs away, bombs away Dream about you Dream about you Dream about you I still dream about you I wish I'da hugged you tighter the last time that I saw you I wish I didn't waste precious time that night when I called you I knew that moment I met you that I'd always adore you Maybe I pushed you away because I thought that I'd Bore you

Now as the summer fades, I let you slip away You say I'm not your type but I can make you sway It makes you burn to learn you're not the only one I'd let you be if you put down your blazing gun Now you've gone somewhere else far away I don't know if I will find you (find you) But you feel my breath on your neck Can't believe I'm right behind you (behind you) 'Cause you keep me coming back for more And I feel a little better than I did before If I never see your face again, I don't mind 'Cause we've gone much further Than I thought we'd get tonight Sometimes you move so well, it's hard not to give in I'm lost, I can't tell where you end and I begin It makes me burn to learn you're with another man I wonder if he's half the lover that I am Now you've gone somewhere else far away I don't know if I will find you (find you, find you) But you feel my breath on your neck Can't believe I'm right behind you (behind you) 'Cause you keep me coming back for more And I feel a little better than I did before If I never see your face again, I don't mind 'Cause we've gone much further Than I thought we'd get tonight Baby, baby, please believe me Find it in your heart to reach me Promise not to leave me behind Take me down but take it easy Make me think but don't deceive me Torture me by taking your time 'Cause you keep me coming back for more And I feel a little better than I did before If I never see your face again, I don't mind 'Cause we've gone much further Than I thought we'd get tonight You keep me coming back for more And I feel a little better than I did before If I never see your face again, I don't mind 'Cause we've gone much further Than I thought we'd get tonight

Good times they come and they go Never going to know What fate is going to blow Your way just hope that it feels right Sometimes it comes and it goes You take it ever so slow And then you lose it Then it flows right to you So we rely on the past Special moments that last We're as tender as we dare to remember Such a fine time as this What could equal the bliss? The thrill of the first kiss It'll blow right to you It's never... as good as the first time Never... as good as the first time Never as good as the first time Good times they come and they go Never going to know It's like the weather one day Chicken next day feathers The rose we remember The thorns we forget We'd love and leave We never spend a minute on regret It is possibility the more we know the less we see Second time is not quite what it seems Natural as the way we came to be Second time won't live up to the dream It's never... as good as the first time Never as good as the first time Never... as good as the first time Never as good as the first time Ba-da-da-ba-ba-ba Ba-da-da-da ba-ba Ba-da-da-ba-ba-ba Ba-da-da-da ba-ba Natural as the way we came to be Second time won't live up to the dream Natural as the way we came to be Second time is not quite what it seemed Ooh... It's never... ooh... as good as the first time As the first time never as good as the first time Natural as the way we came to be Second time won't live up to the dream Natural as the way we came to be Second time is not quite what it seemed It's never good as good as the first time good As the first time as good as the first time Ba-da-da-ba-ba-ba Ba-da-da-da ba-ba Ba-da-da-ba-ba-ba
