Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly

                                                 Killing Me Softly With His Song 

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 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 he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

(repeat chorus)

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

(rpt chorus)

He sang as if he knew me, and 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

(repeat chorus till fade)

Fugees and Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly

Killing Me Softly  Roberta Flack/Fugees
I heard he sang a good song  I heard he had a style  And so I came to see him  To listen for a while  And there he was this young boy  A stranger to my eyes CHORUS: 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 CHORUS 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  But he was there this stranger  Singing clear and strong CHORUS
