Killing Me Soflty

*Struming my pain with his fingers

  Singing my life with his words

  Killing me softly with his song 2x

  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 and 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 letter and read each other 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 darkest fair

and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there

and he just kept on singing, singing clear and strong

* *

He was struming my pain

yeah, he wes seeing my life

killing me softly with his song 2x

telling my whole life with his words

killing me softly with his song
