The voice and depth of Jennifer Hudson is simply amazing... In this next song, she performs "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", from the 2012 PBS Special "from Dust to Dreams" filmed on Opening Night at "The Smith Center For The Performing Arts" in Las Vegas Nevada, which aired on PBS September 21, 2012. Such a talented performer!
LYRICS:
"The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" Cover by Jennifer Hudson
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 endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless 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
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 'til the end of time, my love
And it would last 'til the end of time, my love
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
Writer(s): Mccoll Ewan, Maccoll Ewan

This song has a hidden meaning for my wife and me. It was what was played for our bride and groom dance at our wedding -- by Roberta Flack, of course. There are only about 100 people in the world with well documented complete prosopagnosia (face blindness). I'm one, my wife is another. We chose it half as a joke that most folks at the reception wouldn't get. But it's a pretty song too.
