Refrain

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.

Verse1

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 was this young boy

a stranger to my eyes.

Refrain

!!!Play verse 2 and 3 like verse 1!!!

Verse2

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.

Refrain

Verse3

He sang as if he knew me

in all my dark despair.

And the he looked right trough me

as if I wasn?t there.

And he just kept on singing

singing clear and strong.
