Killing Me Softly with His Song Lyrics

[00:00.65] Strumming my pain with his fingers
[00:04.74] Singing my life with his words
[00:09.15] Killing me softly with his song
[00:12.77] Killing me softly with his song
[00:17.27] Telling my whole life with his words
[00:19.74] Killing me softly
[00:23.01]
[00:25.57] With his song
[00:28.92]
[00:31.87] I heard he sang a good song
[00:36.23]
[00:51.88] I heard he had a style
[00:56.23] And so I came to see him, to listen for a while
[01:03.23] And there he was, this young boy
[01:07.98] A stranger to my eyes
[01:11.46] Strumming my pain with his fingers
[01:15.22] Singing my life with his words
[01:19.37] Killing me softly with his song
[01:23.02] Killing me softly with his song
[01:26.46] Telling my whole life with his words
[01:30.80] Killing me softly
[01:35.27] With his song
[01:39.63] I felt all flushed with fever
[01:44.56] Embarrassed by the crowd
[01:48.76] I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
[01:55.71] I prayed that he would finish
[01:59.79] But he just kept right on
[02:03.23] Strumming my pain with his fingers
[02:07.22] Singing my life with his words
[02:11.17] Killing me softly with his song
[02:14.12] Killing me softly with his song
[02:18.33] Telling my whole life with his words
[02:22.24] Killing me softly
[02:26.13] With his song
[02:31.39] He sang as if he knew me
[02:35.49] In all my dark despair
[02:39.79] And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
[02:46.96] And he just kept on singing
[02:51.06] Singing clear and strong
[02:54.63] Strumming my pain with his fingers
[02:58.44] Singing my life with his words
[03:02.84] Killing me softly with his song
[03:05.72] Killing me softly with his song
[03:09.57] Telling my whole life with his words
[03:13.58] Killing me softly
[03:17.30] With his song
[03:20.75]
[03:49.64] Strumming my pain with his fingers
[03:53.50] Singing my life with his words
[03:57.57] Killing me softly with his song
[04:00.56] Killing me softly with his song
[04:04.27] Telling my whole life with his words
[04:08.17] Killing me
[04:13.03]
[04:16.33] He was strumming my pain
[04:19.91] Yeah, he was singing my life
[04:24.24] Killing me softly with his song
[04:27.80] Killing me softly with his song
[04:31.23] Telling my whole life with his words
[04:35.03] Killing me softly with his song
[04:40.84]
