Struming my pain with his fingers
 
Singing my life with his words
 
killing me softy 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
 
and listen for a while
 
 
and there he was this younge boy
 
a stranger to my eyes
 
Struming my pain with his fingers
 
Singing my life with his words
 
killing me softy 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 letter
 
and read eachone out loud
 
I prayed that he would finish
 
but he just kept right on
 
Struming my pain with his fingers
 
Singing my life with his words
 
killing me softy 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 darkness fair
 
and then he looked right through me
 
as if i wasn't there
 
and he kept on singing
 
singing clear and strong
 
Struming my pain with his fingers
 
Singing my life with his words
 
killing me softy with his song
 
killing me softly with his song
 
telling my whole life
 
with his words
 
killing me softly with his song
 
 
ohhhhhhhhhhh oohhhhhhh...lalalal..ohhhh lalaaaaaaa
 
 
Struming my pain with his fingers
 
Singing my life with his words
 
killing me softy with his song
 
killing me softly with his song
 
telling my whole life
 
with his words
 
killing me (softly)
 
 
he was strumming my pain
 
yeah he was seing my life
 
killing me softly with his song
 
killing em softly with his song
 
telling my whole life with his words
 
killing me softly with his song
