[00:03.90]Strumming my pain with his fingers
[00:09.95]Singing my life with his words
[00:13.82]
[00:16.07]Killing me softly with his song
[00:20.62]Killing me softly with his song
[00:27.55]Telling my whole life with his words
[00:33.04]
[00:33.66]Killing me softly with his song ...
[00:49.45]
[01:13.05]I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style.
[01:17.42]And so I came to see him to listen for a while.
[01:24.97]
[01:25.97]And there he was this young boy a stranger to my eyes.
[01:33.83]Strumming my pain with his fingers
[01:37.95]Singing my life with his words
[01:41.32]
[01:42.25]Killing me softly with his song
[01:45.94]Killing me softly with his song
[01:50.55]Telling my whole life with his words
[01:55.17]Killing me softly with his song ...
[02:05.40]I felt all flushed with fever embarrassed by the crowd
[02:13.08]
[02:13.77]I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
[02:20.44]
[02:22.44]I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on ...
[02:30.62]Strumming my pain with his fingers
[02:34.11]Singing my life with his words
[02:37.60]
[02:39.10]Killing me softly with his song
[02:42.66]Killing me softly with his song
[02:46.71]Telling my whole life with his words
[02:50.64]
[02:51.77]Killing me softly with his song ...
[03:02.00]He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair.
[03:08.93]
[03:10.68]And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
[03:16.92]But he just came to singing singing clear and strong.
[03:26.90]Strumming my pain with his fingers
[03:31.02]Singing my life with his words
[03:36.57]Killing me softly with his song
[03:39.69]Killing me softly with his song
[03:43.62]Telling my whole life with his words
[03:48.36]Killing me softly with his song ...
