[00:00.00]Strumming my pain with his fingers,
[00:03.93]Singing my life with his words,
[00:08.07]Killing me softly with his song,
[00:11.25]Killing me softly with his song,
[00:15.37]Telling my whole life with his words,
[00:19.42]Killing me softly with his song.
[00:45.12]I heard he sang a good song,
[00:49.07]I heard he had a style,
[00:53.33]And so I came to see him
[00:56.84]to listen for a while.
[01:01.35]And there he was this young boy,
[01:05.33]A stranger to my eyes,
[01:09.33]Strumming my pain with his fingers,
[01:13.12]Singing my life with his words,
[01:17.27]Killing me softly with his song,
[01:20.45]Killing me softly with his song,
[01:24.75]Telling my whole life with his words,
[01:28.68]Killing me softly with his song.
[01:38.07]I felt all flushed with fever,
[01:42.01]Embarrassed by the crowd,
[01:46.06]I felt he found my letters
[01:49.73]and read each one out loud.
[01:54.10]I prayed that he would finish,
[01:58.25]But he just kept right on
[02:01.97]Strumming my pain with his fingers,
[02:06.07]Singing my life with his words,
[02:10.06]Killing me softly with his song,
[02:13.23]Killing me softly with his song,
[02:17.18]Telling my whole life with his words,
[02:21.34]Killing me softly with his song
[02:30.84]He sang as if he knew me ,
[02:34.75]In all my dark despair
[02:38.77]And then he looked right through me ,
[02:42.48]As if l wasn't there
[02:46.84]And he just kept on saying ,
[02:50.97]Sining clear and strong
[02:54.65]Strumming my pain with his fingers,
[02:58.60]Singing my life with his words,
[03:02.76]Killing me softly with his song,
[03:05.82]Killing me softly with his song,
[03:09.82]Telling my whole life with his words,
[03:13.83]Killing me softly with his song.
[03:23.14]Oh... La... Oh... La...Ah...
[03:51.48]Strumming my pain with his fingers,
[03:55.17]Singing my life with his words,
[03:59.37]Killing me softly with his song,
[04:02.38]Killing me softly with his song,
[04:06.67]Telling my whole life with his words,
[04:10.80]Killing me softly with his song.
