I heard he sang a good song
     I heard he had a style
         And so I came to see him to listen for a while
               And there he was this young boy
                   a stranger to my eyes

(refrain)

 

                                             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 felt all flushed with fever
         embarrassed by the crowd
     I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on
 

 

 

(repeat refrain)

 

 

He sang it as he knew me in all my dark despair
     and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
         But he was there this stranger singing clear and strong

 

 

(repeat refrain)

 

 

     He was strumming there
Yea, he was singing my life
