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
Oh, 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 the God 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
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
