Killing me softly with his song

Roberta Flack Killing me softly with his song Album

1.Killing me softly with his song

*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 see him



To listen for a while

Singer

And there he was, this young boy



A stranger to my eyes(*)




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(*)




He sang as if he knew me



In all my dark despair



And then he looked right through me



As if I wasn't there



And he just kept on singing



Singing clear and strong(*)
