Killing me softly

I _______ she ______ a good song,
I _______ she _______ a style.
And so I _______ to see her
And listen for a while.
And there she _______ this young girl,
A stranger to my eyes.

Strumming my pain with her __________,
Singing my life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song,
Killing me softly with her song,
Telling my _________ life with her words,
Killing me softly with her song

I _______ all flushed with fever,
______________ by the crowd,
I _______ she __________ my letters
And __________ each one aloud.
I ___________ that she would finish
But she just _________ right on.

She ________ as if she _________ me
In all my dark despair
And then she __________right through me
As if I ________ there.
But she _______ there this stranger,
Singing clear and strong.
