Killing Me Softly With His Song lyrics

Killing Me Softly With His Song
Roberta Flack

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.

I felt all flushed
with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read
each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right
on.

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 just came to singing,
singing clear and strong.
