Killing Me Softly With Her Song Lyrics - Perry Como

I heard she sang a good song 

I heard she had a style 

And so I came to see her 

To listen for a while 

And there she was this young girl 

A stranger to my eyes 

Strummin' my pain with her fingers 

Singin' my life with her words 

Killing me softly with her song 

Killing me softly, with her song 

Telling my whole life with her words 

Killing me softly, with her song 

I felt all flushed with fever 

Embarrassed by the crowd 

I felt she found my letters 

And read each one aloud 

I prayed that she would finish 

But she just kept right on 

Strummin' my pain with her fingers 

Singin' my life with her words 

Killing me softly with her song 

Killing me softly, with her song 

Telling my whole life with her words 

Killing me softly, with her song 

She sang as if she knew me 

In all my dark despair 

And then she looked right through me 

As if I wasn't there 

But she was there, this stranger 

Singing clear and strong 

Strummin' my pain with her fingers 

Singin' my life with her words 

Killing me softly with her song 

Killing me softly, with her song 

Telling my whole life with her words 

Killing me softly, with her song 

Killing me softly, with her song
