[Verse]
           
   I heard she

 
 sang a good s

ong, 
             
   I heard she

 
 had a style, 
           
   And so I ca


me to see her,

 
        
   To listen f

or a while . .

 .
           
   And there s

   
he was this yo

ung girl, 
             
   A stranger 


to my eyes . .

 .

[Chorus]
            
Strummin' my p

            
ain with her f

ingers, 
            
Singin' my lif

            
e with her wor

ds, 
            
Killing me sof

           
tly with her s

ong, 
              
Killing me sof

        
tly, with her 

song, 
             
Telling my who

Killing me sof

          
tly, with her 

  
song

[Verse]
           
I felt all flu

 
shed with feve

r, 
             
Embarrassed by

 
 the crowd, 
           
I felt she fou


nd my letters,

 
        
And read each 

one aloud . . 

.
           
I prayed that 

   
she would fini

sh, 
             
But she just k


ept right on .

 . .

[Chorus]
            
Strummin' my p

            
ain with her f

ingers, 
            
Singin' my lif

            
e with her wor

ds, 
            
Killing me sof

           
tly with her s

ong, 
              
Killing me sof

        
tly, with her 

song, 
             
Telling my who

er words, 
           
Killing me sof

          
tly, with her 

  
song

           
She sang as if

 
 she knew me, 
             
In all my dark

 
 despair, 
           
And then she l


ooked right th

rough me, 
          
As if I wasn't

 there . . .
           
But she was th

   
ere, this stra

nger,
             
Singing clear 


and strong . .

 .

[Chorus]
            
Strummin' my p

            
ain with her f

ingers, 
            
Singin' my lif

            
e with her wor

ds, 
            
Killing me sof

ong, 
              
Killing me sof

        
tly, with her
