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.
