I heard she sang a good song
I heard she had a style
And so I came to see her
To listen for a while
And there she was
This young girl
A stranger to my eyes
[Chorus:]
Strumming my pain
With her fingers
She was 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
[Chorus]
Hoo, ooh...
She sang as if
She knew me, yeah
In all my dark despair
And then she looked
Right through me
As if I wasn't there
But she just kept
On singing strong
Singing clear and
[Chorus]
Strumming my pain
With her fingers
She was singing
My life with her words
(She was, she was)
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
