Perry Como - Killing Me Softly With Her Song

[00:52.85] I heard she sang a good song,

[00:57.61] I heard she had a style,

[01:02.34] And so I came to see her,

[01:06.35] To listen for a while...

[01:10.86] And there she was this young girl,

[01:15.60] A stranger to my eyes...

[01:19.10] Strummin' my pain with her fingers,

[01:23.61] Singin' my life with her words,

[01:28.59] Killing me softly with her song,

[01:33.10] Killing me softly, with her song,

[01:36.85] Telling my whole life with her words,

[01:41.35] Killing me softly, with her song...

[01:53.10] I felt all flushed with fever,

[01:58.86] Embarrassed by the crowd,

[02:02.59] I felt she found my letters,

[02:07.10] And read each one aloud...

[02:11.85] I prayed that she would finish,

[02:16.60] But she just kept right on...

[02:20.09] Strummin' my pain with her fingers,

[02:24.86] Singin' my life with her words,

[02:29.34] Killing me softly with her song,

[02:33.11] Killing me softly, with her song,

[02:37.35] Telling my whole life with her words,

[02:42.58] Killing me softly, with her song...

[02:53.85] She sang as if she knew me,

[02:58.60] In all my dark despair,

[03:03.35] And then she looked right through me,

[03:08.10] As if I wasn't there...

[03:13.10] But she was there, this stranger,

[03:18.09] Singing clear and strong...

[03:20.85] Strummin' my pain with her fingers,

[03:25.34] Singin' my life with her words,

[03:29.84] Killing me softly with her song,

[03:33.10] Killing me softly, with her song,

[03:38.11] Telling my whole life with her words,

[03:42.60] Killing me softly, with her song...

[04:15.34] Killing me softly, with her song...
