Killing me Softly

Struming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

killing me softy with his song

killing me softly with his song

telling my whole lifewith his words

killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song

I heard he had a styleand so I came to see

and listen for a while

and there he was this young boy

a stranger to my eyes

Struming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

killing me softy with his song

killing me softly with his song

telling my whole lifewith his words

killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever

Embarrassed by the crowd

I felt he found my letter

and read eachone out loud

I prayed that he would finish

but he just kept right on

Struming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

killing me softy with his song

killing me softly with his song

telling my whole lifewith his words

killing me softly with his song

he sang as if he knew me

In all my darkness fair

and then he looked right through me

as if i wasn't thereand he kept on singing

singing clear and strong

Struming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

killing me softy with his song

killing me softly with his song

telling my whole lifewith his words

killing me softly with his song

ohhhhhhhhhhh oohhhhhhh...lalalal..ohhhh lalaaaaaaa

Struming my pain with his fingers

Singing my life with his words

killing me softy with his song

killing me softly with his song

telling my whole lifewith his words

killing me (softly)he was strumming my pain

yeah he was seing my lifekilling me softly with his song

killing em softly with his song

telling my whole life with his words

killing me softly with his song
