Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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
to listen for a while.
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 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.

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

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 whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
La la la la la la la la la oh oh oh
oh oh oh La la la La ah ah ah ah

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

He was strumming my pain
Yeah, he was singing my lines
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.
