00:00Strumming my pain with his fingers
00:24Singing my life with his words
00:28Killing me softly with his song
00:31Killing me softly with his song
00:35Telling my whole life with his words
00:39Killing me softly with his song
00:47I heard he sang a good song
01:06I heard he had a style
01:09And so I came to see him
01:12To listen for a while
01:16And there he was, this young boy
01:20A stranger to my eyes
01:23Strumming my pain with his fingers
01:26Singing my life with his words
01:29Killing me softly with his song
01:32Killing me softly with his song
01:36Telling my whole life with his words
01:39Killing me softly with his song

02:36In all my dark despair
02:39And then he looked right through me
02:42As if I was there
02:45And he just kept on singing
02:49Singing, singing clear, strong
02:53Strumming my pain with his fingers
