Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly With His Song lyrics

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...

ooooo....

I heard he sang a good song

I heard he had a style

So I came to see him and listen for awhile

And there he was this young boy

A stranger to my eyes...

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 found my letters and read each one out loud

I prayed that he would finish

But he just kept right on...

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...

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...

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...

oooooo....la la la la la la.....ooooooooooo...la la laaaaa.la la la laaaaa

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...

He was strumming my pain

Yeah he was singing my life

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...
