Lyrics

I heard he sang a good song,

I heard he had a style,

and so I came to see him to (Am)lis ten for a while.

And there he was, this young boy,

a stran ger to my eyes.

(Am)Strum ming my pain with his fin gers,

(G)sing ing my life with his words.

(Am)Kill ing me soft ly with his song, kill ing me soft ly

with his song, tell ing my whole life

with his words, kill ing me soft ly

with his song.

I heard he sang

a good song,

I heard he had a style,

and so I came to see him to (Am)lis ten for a while.

And there he was, this young boy,

a stran ger to my eyes.

(Am)Strum ming my pain with his fin gers,

(G)sing ing my life with his words.

(Am)Kill ing me soft ly with his song, kill ing me soft ly

with his song, tell ing my whole life

with his words, kill ing me soft ly

with his song.
