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 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 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 she knew me
In all my dark despair
And then she looked right through me as if I wasn't there
And she just kept on 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
