เนื้อเพลง 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 To 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 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 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
He sang as if it he knew me In all my dark despair And then he looked right through me As if I wasn't there But he was there, this stranger Singing clear and strong
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
Perry Como - Killing Me Softly with Her Song
I heard she sang a good song, I heard she had a style. And so I came to see her and listen for a while. And there she was this young girl, a stranger to my eyes.
Strumming my pain with her fingers, singing 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 out loud. I prayed that she would finish but she just kept right on.
Strumming my pain with her fingers, singing 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 he knew me in all my dark despair and then she looked right through me as if I wasn't there. But she just came to singing, singing clear and strong.
Strumming my pain with her fingers, singing 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

K. Jaimaica I turned to this page and again found a very wonderful thing you had beautifully arranged for us - the visitors. I think the three versions are all excellent singings with great musical arrangements but it is amazing that they have been put together into just only in one page plus all the lyrics that facilitate the listening and humming along. Your posting deserve the praise and appreciation. Thank you so much for doing this for us.
