Killing Me Softly With His Song 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 whole
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 a
while
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 whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his
song

I felt all flushed with fever, embarassed by the crowd
I felt
he'd found my letters and read each one 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 whole life with his
words
Killing me softly

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
But he
was there, this stranger, singing clear and loud

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 whole life with his
words
Killing me softly with his song
