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 and listen for a while.
And there he was this young boy, 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.
I felt all flushed with fever,embarrassed by the 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
He said as if he knew me
And then he looked right through me
as if I wasn't there.
But he was there the stranger
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.
Strumming my pain ,oh he was singing my life
lalalalalalalalalala
with his song.
