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...
