Killing Me Softly lyrics

I heard he sang a good song

They said, 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

Embarrassed by the crowd

I thought 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 loud and clear

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

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
