Perry Como Lyrics
"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 his
To listen for a while

And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes

Strummin' my pain with his fingers
Singin' 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 aloud

I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on

Strummin' my pain with his fingers
Singin' 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

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 she was there, this stranger
Singing clear and strong

Strummin' my pain with his fingers
Singin' 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

Killing me softly, with her song
