Kimberly Caldwell - Killing Me Softly With His Song Lyrics - Singles - American Idol

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 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 to 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 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 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 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 life with his words 

Killing me softly with his song
