Killing Me Softly With Her Song lyrics

I heard she sang a good song,
I heard she had a style,
And so I came to see her,
To listen for a while . . .

And there she was this young girl,
A stranger to my eyes . . .

Strummin` my pain with her fingers,
Singin` my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly, with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

I felt all flushed with fever,
Embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt she found my letters,
And read each one aloud . . .

I prayed that she would finish,
But she just kept right on . . .

Strummin` my pain with her fingers,
Singin` my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly, with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

She sang as if she knew me,
In all my dark despair,
And then she looked right through me,
As if I wasn`t there . . .

But she was there, this stranger,
Singing clear and strong . . .

Strummin` my pain with her fingers,
Singin` my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly, with her song,
Telling my whole life with her words,
Killing me softly, with her song . . .

Killing me softly, with her song . . .
