[00:21.500]I heard he sang a good song.

[00:24.810]I heard he had a style.

[00:28.840]And so I came to see him

[00:31.859]To listen for a while.

[00:36.630]And there he was, this young boy

[00:40.800]A stranger to my eyes.

[00:44.090]Strumming my pain with his fingers,

[00:47.880]Singing my life with his words,

[00:51.980]Killing me softly with his song,

[00:55.200]Killing me softly with his song,

[00:58.890]Telling my whole life with his words,

[01:03.230]Killing me softly with his song.

[01:10.550]

[01:12.700]I felt I flushed with fever,

[01:16.550]Embarrassed by the crowd.

[01:20.489]I felt he read my letters

[01:23.800]And he just read them out loud.

[01:28.560]I prayed that he would finish.

[01:31.860]But he just kept right on.

[01:35.890]Strumming my pain with his fingers,

[01:39.640]Singing my life with his words,

[01:44.090]Killing me softly with his song,

[01:47.000]Killing me softly with his song,

[01:51.100]Telling my whole life with his words,

[01:54.959]Killing me softly with his song.

[02:03.070]

[02:04.580]He sang as if he knew me,

[02:08.550]In all my dark despair.

[02:12.530]And then he looked right through me

[02:15.970]As if I wasn‘t there.

[02:21.560]And he just kept on singing,

[02:24.860]Singing clear and strong.

[02:27.900]Strumming my pain with his fingers,

[02:32.000]Singing my life with his words,

[02:35.700]Killing me softly with his song,

[02:38.910]Killing me softly with his song,

[02:42.970]Telling my whole life with his words.

[02:47.070]Killing me softly with his song.

[03:04.410]

[03:23.200]He was strumming my pain,

[03:27.020]He was singing my life,

[03:31.700]Killing me softly with his song.

[03:35.490]Killing me softly with his song,

[03:38.670]Telling my whole life with his words,

[03:42.800]Killing me softly with his song.

[03:49.040]2 3 4.......

[03:51.170]He was strumming my pain,

[03:54.450]He was singing my life,

[03:59.650]Killing me softly with his song.

[04:03.100]Killing me softly with his song,

[04:06.880]Telling my whole life with his words,

[04:10.910]Killing me softly with his song.
