I heard she sang a good song, I heard she had a style. And so I came to see her and listen for a while. And there she was this young girl, a stranger to my eyes. Strumming my pain with her fingers, singing my life with her words, k**ing me softly with her song, k**ing me softly with her song, telling my whole life with her words, k**ing me softly with her song I felt all flushed with fever, embarra**ed by the crowd, I felt she found my letters and read each one out loud. I prayed that she would finish but she just kept right on. Strumming my pain with her fingers,
singing my life with her words, k**ing me softly with her song, k**ing me softly with her song, telling my whole life with her words, k**ing me softly with her song She sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair and then she looked right through me as if I wasn't there. But she just came to singing, singing clear and strong. Strumming my pain with her fingers, singing my life with her words, k**ing me softly with her song, k**ing me softly with her song, telling my whole life with her words, k**ing me softly with her song
