this one is dedicated to the Count, who is MIA at the moment...

...do you remember this smash hit by the Fugees my Count??! i heard it on the radio the other day, and immediately thought about you (especially that bit on how she felt he had found her letters and was just reading each one aloud. sigh.) so now i think YOU, every time i hear this playing in my mind! ~ amreeth

KILLING ME SOFTLY - 08/06/1996
5 weeks at #1 - 20 weeks on chart
Copyrighted to the Fugees

Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him and listen for a while
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes

Strumming my pain with his fingers
(One time, one time)
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on

Strumming my pain with his fingers
(One time, one time)
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

Strumming my pain with his fingers
(Yes he was)
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
