| Your Ennis sang my life with barely a word Your Ennis strummed my pain with clenched fists Your talent to probe the depth of people you never knew Your talent to give voice to stories you never heard
You gave light to a darkness buried deep and forgotten You gave hope to a despair burned to ashes bare Your life gave living new meaning to me and many others too Your life will be remembered each day each year and forever more

Aretha Franklin - Killing Me SoftlyStruming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
killing me softy 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
and listen for a while
and there he was this young boy
a stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
killing me softy 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 letter
and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
but he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
killing me softy with his song
killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life
with his words
killing me softly with his song
he sang as if he knew me
In all my darkness fair
and then he looked right through me
as if i wasn't there
and he kept on singing
singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
killing me softy with his song
killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life
with his words
killing me softly with his song
ohhhhhhhhhhh oohhhhhhh...lalalal..ohhhh lalaaaaaaa
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
killing me softy with his song
killing me softly with his song
telling my whole life
with his words
killing me (softly)
he was strumming my pain
yeah he was singing my life
killing me softly with his song
killing em softly with his song
telling my whole life with his words
killing me softly with his song
