Killing Me Softly With His Song Brenda Lee

[Verse 1: Brenda Lee]
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

[Verse 2: Brenda Lee]
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

[Refrain: Brenda Lee, Brenda Lee & backing singers]
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.

[Verse 3: Brenda Lee]
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by a 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
