Killing Me Softly With His 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 embarrassed by the crowd

I felt he found my letters and read each word aloud

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

And he just kept on singing

Singing clear and strong

[00:42.28]I heard he had a style

[00:45.08]And so I came to see him to listen for a while

[00:52.70]And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

[03:33.47][02:34.69][01:47.29][00:59.52]Strumming my pain with his fingers

[03:36.95][02:38.39][01:50.74][01:03.05]Singing my life with his words

[03:40.74][02:42.02][01:54.37][01:06.70]Killing me softly with his song

[03:43.73][02:45.12][01:57.56][01:09.83]Killing me softly with his song

[03:47.31][02:48.55][02:01.34][01:13.42]Telling my whole life with his words

[03:50.95][02:52.19][02:04.68][01:16.96]Killing me softly with his song

[01:25.61]I felt all flushed with fever embarrassed by the crowd

[01:33.02]I felt he found my letters and read each word aloud

[01:40.35]I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on

[02:13.57]He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair

[02:20.80]And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there

[02:27.86]And he just kept on singing

[02:31.76]Singing clear and strong
