Lyrics: Killing Me Softly With His Song

(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...
