English Lyrics
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 hands
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 till the end of time, my love
And it will last till the end of time, my love
The first time ever I saw your face, your face
Your face, your face

This song reminds me of my mother. She passed nearly 2 years now. She loved Paul Potts, and she cried when I showed her this video. Now I cry when I watch it. I miss you ma.

I'm a 61 year old ex-roadie biker and I just sobbed my heart out listening to your sublime singing of La Prima Volta. I was feeling a bit low and sorry for myself this morning, I am severely disabled housebound blah blah blah, I open my tablet and you pop into my feed. I knew I had to watch, especially at this time, as it was recorded at Kiev Opera House. Thank you so much Paul for helping me to feel like life may get us down but it's a heck of a lot better than the alternative lol Oh and hello from London to all in the Ukraine, my love and prayers go out to you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇺🇦
