Killing Me Softly With His Song - Kimberly Caldw Lyrics

Strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song



I heard he sang a good song

I heard he had a style

And so I came to see him to listen for awhile

And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes



Strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song 



I felt all flushed with fever 

Embarrassed by the crowd

I felt he found my letters and read each out loud

I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on 



Strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song 



He sang as if he knew me 

In all my dark despair

And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there

And he just kept on singing

Singing clear and strong 



Strumming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song

Killing me softly with his song

Telling my life with his words

Killing me softly with his song
