Killing Me Softly With His Song
Soulful Melody Unveiling Love's Depths
Lyrics
I heard he sang a good song
Heard about his ability to sing well.
I heard he had a style
Noticed his distinctive manner or approach.
And so I came to see him
Went to observe/listen to him.
To listen for a while.
Took time to listen to his music.
And there he was this young boy
Encountered a young unfamiliar person.
A stranger to my eyes.
Didn't recognize or know this individual.
Strumming my pain with his fingers
He emotionally resonated with her through music.
Singing my life with his words
Expressed her life experiences through his lyrics.
Killing me softly with his song
His song deeply affects her.
Killing me softly with his song
Repeated impact of his song on her emotions.
Telling my whole life with his words
His lyrics captured her entire life story.
Killing me softly, with his song.
His song intensely affects her emotionally.
I felt all flushed with fever
She felt overwhelmed with emotion.
Embarrassed by the crowd,
She felt self-conscious in front of others.
I felt he found my letters
Believed he discovered her personal letters.
And read each one out loud.
Heard her private thoughts shared publicly.
I prayed that he would finish
Wished for the performance to end.
But he just kept right on.
He continued despite her hope for it to stop.
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Continued to evoke her pain through music.
Singing my life with his words
Expressed her life through his singing.
Killing me softly with his song
His song deeply affects her.
Killing me softly with his song
Repeated impact of his song on her emotions.
Telling my whole life with his words
His lyrics encapsulate her life experiences.
Killing me softly.
His song intensely affects her emotionally.
He sang as if he knew me
Felt like he understood her deeply.
In all my dark despair
In her moments of despair, his singing resonated.
And then he looked right through me
He seemed to see into her troubled emotions.
As if I wasn't there.
Felt ignored or unseen by him.
But he was there a stranger
Despite being a stranger, his song connected.
Singing clear and loud
Singing vividly and openly despite being unknown.
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Continued to evoke her pain through music.
Singing my life with his words
Expressed her life through his singing.
Killing me softly with his song
His song deeply affects her.
Killing me softly with his song
Repeated impact of his song on her emotions.
Telling my whole life with his words
His lyrics encapsulate her life experiences.
Killing me softly, with his song.
His song intensely affects her emotionally.
