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.
Iheard he sang

a good song.

Iheard he had

a style.
And so I came to see him.
to listen for awhile.
And there he was this young boy.

a stranger to my eyes.
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.
Ifelt all
flushed with fever.

embarrassed

by the crowd.
Ifclt he

found my letters.

and read

each one out loud.
I prayed
that he would finish.

but he just

kept right on...
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.
He sang
as if he knew me.

in all my

dark despair.
And then he

looked right through me

asifl

wasn't there.
And he

just kept on singing

singing

clear and strong.
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.
Ohh...

La. la-la-la-la-la.

La la la la...Laaa...
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.
He was
strumming my pain.

Yeah. he was

singing my life.
Killing me softly

with his song.

with his song.
Telling my whole life

with his words.
killing me softly

with his song.
