Killing Me Softly With Her Song

(альбом: The Way We Were - 1974)

I heard she sang a good song
I heard she had a style
And so I came to see
To listen for a while
And there she was this young Girl
A stranger to my eyes

Struming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softy with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly with her song

I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt she found my letters
And read eachone out loud
I prayed that she would finish
But she just kept right on

Struming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softy with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with her song

She sang as if she knew me
In all my darkness fair
And then she looked right through me
As if I wasn't there
And he kept on singing
Singing clear and strong

Struming my pain with her fingers
Singing my life with her words
Killing me softy with her song
Killing me softly with her song
Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
