[00:21.08]I heard he sang a good song.
[00:25.11]I heard he had a style.
[00:29.14]And so I come to see him
[00:32.16]To listen for a while.
[00:36.93]And there he was, this young boy
[00:41.10]A stranger to my eyes.
[00:44.39]Strumming my pain with his fingers,
[00:48.18]Singing my life with his words,
[00:52.28]Killing me softly with his song,
[00:55.50]Killing me softly with his song,
[00:59.19]Telling my whole life with his words,
[01:03.53]Killing me softly with his song.
[01:10.85]
[01:13.00]I felt I flushed with fever,
[01:16.85]Embarrassed by the crowd.
[01:20.79]I felt he found my letters
[01:24.10]And read each one out loud.
[01:28.86]I loved that he would finish.
[01:32.16]But he just kept right on.
[01:36.19]Strumming my pain with his fingers,
[01:39.94]Singing my life with his words,
[01:44.04]Killing me softly with his song,
[01:47.30]Killing me softly with his song,
[01:51.40]Telling my whole life with his words,
[01:55.26]Killing me softly with his song.
[02:03.37]
[02:04.88]He sang as if he knew me,
[02:08.85]In all my dark despair.
[02:12.83]And then he looked right through me
[02:16.27]As if I wasn‘t there.
[02:21.86]And he just kept on singing,
[02:25.16]Singing clear and strong.
[02:28.20]Strumming my pain with his fingers,
[02:32.03]Singing my life with his words,
[02:36.00]Killing me softly with his song,
[02:39.21]Killing me softly with his song,
[02:43.27]Telling my whole life with his words.
[02:47.37]Killing me softly with his song.
[03:04.71]
[03:23.50]He was strumming my pain,
[03:27.32]He‘s singing my life,
[03:32.00]Killing me softly with his song.
[03:35.08]Killing me softly with his song,
[03:38.97]Telling my whole life with his words,
[03:43.01]Killing me softly with his song.
[03:49.34]2 3 4.......
[03:51.47]He was strumming my pain,
[03:54.75]He‘s singing my life,
[03:59.95]Killing me softly with his song.
[04:03.04]Killing me softly with his song,
[04:07.18]Telling my whole life with his words,
[04:11.21]Killing me softly with his song.
