Killing Me Softly

Strumming my pipe with these fingers

Singing my life with these words

Killing me softly with this song

Killing me softly with this song

Telling my whole life with these words

killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song

I heard he had his time

And so I came to see him

And listen for a while 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 this song

Telling my whole life with these words

Killing me softly with this song

I felt all flush with fever

Embarrassed by the crowd

I felt he found my letters and read each one aloud

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 this song

Killing me softly with this song

Telling my whole life with these words

Killing me softly with this song

Strummin' my pain with these fingers Singin' my life with these words

Killing me softly with this song Killing me softly with this song

Telling my whole life with these words Killing me softly with this song
