Killing Me Softly With His Song
( Written by N.Gimbel - C.Fox )
Stumming 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
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for a while
And there he was this young boy,
A stranger to my eyes
Stumming 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
I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by a 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
Stumming 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
As if I wasn't there
But there he was this stranger
Singing clear and strong
Stumming 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 stumming 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
