about
I hope you like our lovely tote bags. They're made from organic cotton. The artwork is by Daniela Terrazzinni and the design is by Richard Loveday.
The song 'First time ever I was your face,' in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. Ewan McColl wrote it for Peggy Seegar in 1957. It was made famous by Roberta Flack in 1972. Such beautiful lyrics.
lyrics
The first time ever I saw your face
I felt the sun rose in your eyes
and the moon and stars were the gift you'd bring
to the dark and endless skies my love
to the dark and 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
and the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart beat so close to mine
and I knew that our joy would fill the earth
and last til the end of time and last til the end of time my love
