There Was a Girl / Killing Me Softly With His Song

There Was a Girl / Killing Me Softly With His Song - Ray Conniff & The Singers

There was a girl

A very pretty girl

Oh but she was lonely lonely here

I can see her now

I can hear her breathe

I can feel her reaching out

Wishing there was someone by her side

I heard he sang a good song

I heard he had a style

And so I came to see him to listen for a while

And there he was this young boy

A stranger to my eyes

There was a girl

Struming my pain with his fingers

A very pretty girl

Singing my life with his words

Oh but she was lonely

Killing me softy with his song

Lonely here

Killing me softly

I can see her now

With his song

Telling my whole life

I can hear her breathe now

With his words killing me softly

I can feel her reaching out

With his song

Wishing there was someone by her side

He sang as if

He knew me

In all my dark despair

And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there

But he was there stranger

He was singing clear and strong

There was a girl

Struming my pain with his fingers

A very pretty girl

Singing my life with his words

Oh but she was lonely

Killing me softy with his song

Lonely here

Killing me softly

I can see her now

With his song

Telling my whole life

I can hear her breathe now

With his words killing me softly

I can feel her reaching out

With his song

Wishing there was someone by her side

Killing me softly

I can feel her reaching out

With his song

Wishing there was someone by her side
