Killing Me Softly Songtext

von Aretha Franklin

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

Chorus:
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

Chorus

He sang as if he knew me
In all my dark despair
And then he looked right trough me
As if I wasn't there
But he was there,this stranger
Singing clear and strong

Chorus

Ooohhhh ooooohhhhh....lalalalalalala...ooohhhh...lalalala

Chorus

He was strumming my pain
Yeah he was singing my life
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
