 Strumming my pain with my 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.

And there he was a young boy Em: 02200x

a stranger to my eyes.

(CHORUS)

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.

(CHORUS)

He sang as if 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

sining clear and strong

(CHORUS)
