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…
Chorus:
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´d found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on
Chorus:
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
But he was there, this stranger,
He´s singing clear and loud
Chorus:
