[00:21.500]I heard he sang a good song.
[00:24.810]I heard he had a style.
[00:28.840]And so I came to see him
[00:31.859]To listen for a while.
[00:36.630]And there he was, this young boy
[00:40.800]A stranger to my eyes.
[00:44.090]Strumming my pain with his fingers,
[00:47.880]Singing my life with his words,
[00:51.980]Killing me softly with his song,
[00:55.200]Killing me softly with his song,
[00:58.890]Telling my whole life with his words,
[01:03.230]Killing me softly with his song.
[01:10.550]
[01:12.700]I felt I flushed with fever,
[01:16.550]Embarrassed by the crowd.
[01:20.489]I felt he read my letters
[01:23.800]And he just read them out loud.
[01:28.560]I prayed that he would finish.
[01:31.860]But he just kept right on.
[01:35.890]Strumming my pain with his fingers,
[01:39.640]Singing my life with his words,
[01:44.090]Killing me softly with his song,
[01:47.000]Killing me softly with his song,
[01:51.100]Telling my whole life with his words,
[01:54.959]Killing me softly with his song.
[02:03.070]
[02:04.580]He sang as if he knew me,
[02:08.550]In all my dark despair.
[02:12.530]And then he looked right through me
[02:15.970]As if I wasn‘t there.
[02:21.560]And he just kept on singing,
[02:24.860]Singing clear and strong.
[02:27.900]Strumming my pain with his fingers,
[02:32.000]Singing my life with his words,
[02:35.700]Killing me softly with his song,
[02:38.910]Killing me softly with his song,
[02:42.970]Telling my whole life with his words.
[02:47.070]Killing me softly with his song.
[03:04.410]
[03:23.200]He was strumming my pain,
[03:27.020]He‘s singing my life,
[03:31.700]Killing me softly with his song.
[03:35.490]Killing me softly with his song,
[03:38.670]Telling my whole life with his words,
[03:42.800]Killing me softly with his song.
[03:49.040]2 3 4.......
[03:51.170]He was strumming my pain,
[03:54.450]He‘s singing my life,
[03:59.650]Killing me softly with his song.
[04:03.100]Killing me softly with his song,
[04:06.880]Telling my whole life with his words,
[04:10.910]Killing me softly with his song.
