Killing me softly

Chorus 1

Strumming my pain with his fin-gers,

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me soft-ly with his song,

Telling my whole life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song.

Verse 1

I heard he sang a good song,

I heard he had a smile,

And so i came to see him

And listen for a while.

And there he was, this young boy,

A stranger to my eyes.

 

Chorus 2

Strumming my pain with his fin-gers,

Singing my life with his words,

Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me soft-ly with his song,

Telling my whole life with his words,

Killing me softl with his song.

 

Verse 2

I felt all flushed with fever,

Embarrassed by the crowd,

I felt he found a letters

And read each one out loud.

I prayed that he would finish,

But he just kept right on...

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
