KILLING ME SOFTLY (Roberta Flack)
Strumming my PAIN with his fingers
Singing my life with his WORDS
Killing me softly with this 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
And listen for a while
And there was this YOUNG boy
Stranger to my EYES.
Strumming my PAIN with his fingers
Singing my life with his WORDS
Killing me softly with this 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
Embarrased by the CROWD
I felt he found my LETTERS
And read each one out loud
I PRAYED that he would finish
But he just keep right on.
Strumming my PAIN with his fingers
Singing my life with his WORDS
Killing me softly with this song
Killing me softly with his song
TELLING my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song.
He sang as if he knew me
In ALL that doubt despair
And then he looked by through me
As if I wasn’t THERE
And he just kept on SINGING
Singing clear and strong.
Strumming my PAIN with his fingers
Singing my life with his WORDS
Killing me softly with this song
Killing me softly with his song
TELLING my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song.
Strumming my PAIN with his fingers
Singing my life with his WORDS
Killing me softly with this song
Killing me softly with his song
TELLING my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song.
He was strumming my PAIN
He was SINGING my life
Killing me softly with this song
KILLING me softly with his song
TELLING my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song.
