KILLING
ME SOFTLY WITH HIS SONG
(Roberta Flack)
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 heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to tell him
To 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 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 Iwasn't there
But he was there this 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.
