[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
k**ing me softly with his song
k**ing me softly with his song
Telling my life with his words
k**ing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for awhile
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes
[Chorus]
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarra**ed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each 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 through me as if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing
Singing clear and strong
[Chorus]
