Como, Perry - Killing Me Softly With Her Song Lyrics






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...

  1. D.... J....

    It's amazing how the same song can be executed so differently depending on the artist.

  2. R.... B....

    2020 anyone?

  3. B.... B....

    For years I thought it was Frank Sinatra's song, I am sorry Perry Como you are a legend.

  4. J.... S....

    Thank you Holy shit this has changed my whole life. I feel so bad for this man. I think its better than Sinatra's brass sound. I love this its all acoustic with bells here and there its beautiful.

  5. S.... ....

    I feel bad for this dude. But his voice is really, wow, it's so beautiful you could easily mistake it to be Sinatra's voice.

  6. K.... D....

    Today the connection is bad .call you later bye

  7. K.... D....

    Be strong and juste you will destroy all your ennemies.try to forget your past.live your present and prepare your future.you will have your second chance.

  8. A.... G....

    Listening in 2020 the most beautiful song I’ve heard in my life

  9. J.... M....

    Whos here who cant sleep cuz you in love and just listening to this and cant stop thinking about her/him.

  10. B.... N....

    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

    This song is so beautiful, it deserves all the covers out there! Huge kudos to Lori Lieberman, the original singer, Charles Fox (composer) & Norman Gimbel (lyrics). And please, for the love of God, stop false-labelling songs for views, everyone!

  12. S.... f....

    Give it an ambient 80s like tone perfect 80s style vampire love movie!

  13. H.... B....

    In another life I was a busker

  14. t.... a....

    To set the record straight, Como covered Flack who covered Lori Liebermann in this song. I feel that Lori never gets enough credit.

  15. B.... M....

    Great Version ...

  16. S.... N....

    lagunya bang mandra di SDAS

  17. E.... M....

    I truthfully like this better then Sinatras Version

    E.... M....

    Ethan Monseees actually Sinatra never covered it (not officially) so it was both Perry’s version you listened to

    E.... M....

    The fuck? Did you listen to the same song twice and say one was better then the other?

  18. I.... A....

    Lauryn hill did the best rendition I love them all but Lauryn hill and the fugees did the best version

  19. G.... M....

    2020? This song is a sweet lullaby ❤️

  20. c.... ....

    Never knew he was the OG of this song. Learned something new today.

  21. j.... ....

    ok but have you all just heard the fugees version....

  22. A.... K....

    That's sinatra.

  23. T.... A....

    Had no idea back then in the 90's that the Fugees were covering this song, thought it was an original song by them. Wow.

  24. d.... a....

    Anyone here cuz it reminds you of killing stalking??

  25. M.... D....

    Who is here after reading comments from Sinatra?

  26. U.... -....

    Wait but I think it was Lori lieberman who originally sang it though......

  27. l.... ....

    Zhavia.

  28. j.... ....

    Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly brought me here

  29. Y.... s....

    Poor Oh Sangwoo...

  30. S.... M....

    I am building a time machine to take me back to the 50’s!!!

  31. E.... c....

    Una gran cancion😀😀😀😀

  32. C.... V....

    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

    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 aloud

    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 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

    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

    Killing me softly, with her song.

    C.... V....

    Thanks it was very hard to understand him my ears got so wet listing to his voice

    C.... V....

    @Sum yung guy Glad it could help, I need it for singing practice :) Happy 2020

  33. I.... L....

    -Killing him softly with his saw.
    -Killing him soflty?
    -With his saw.

  34. P.... D....

    y'all know guys
    don't care if sinatra or como
    just enjoy this masterpiece

  35. K.... F....

    Great to see Como getting credit. First time I heard this it was listed as Frank Sinatra....? Amazing song

  36. f.... t....

    to everyone saying this song was not sung by frank sinatra: we get it. i’ve already seen 50 comments (AND THE TITLE) saying the exact same thing and pointing out the difference, you’re not special :- )

  37. M.... D....

    The extra verse I didn't know 😭 cos I only knew the fugees version.

  38. E.... T....

    so attractive... we need more men like this in music!

  39. D.... F....

    is every song just a cover?

  40. S.... B....

    Anyone know who the background singers are?

  41. T.... K....

    PC did NOT write this song, ya'll. Before you start arguing, google it.

  42. v.... e....

    yo there are so many renditions of this song but I just found out that the original singer is Lori Lieberman and the og pronoun is 'his'. that's whack but cool. it was released in 1972 if I'm not mistaken

  43. A.... k....

    I watched enough Godfather to know that the credits goes to sinatra because of the mafia

  44. J.... S....

    Perry Como must have be been very young in this photo. I remember him being very suave and gray haired sitting on a stool singing on his t.v. show .

  45. C.... C....

    Súper está canción, las canciones de antes tenían contenido, toda una historia en una canción, y el tono de voz como la de Frank Sinatra

  46. K.... D....

    Since my marriage i must understand that the begining was a lie..the end will be a lie..no feelings..no security..no loyalty

  47. K.... D....

    Sometimes i ask my self if iam not dreaming.i forgot a lot of beautiful things.i was totally absent in the wedding.i was alone .lonly..

  48. s.... ....

    Wow! I had no idea he sang this first. This is so beautiful. The flow of his voice is so calming. I love this.

  49. T.... ....

    Fugees loves both!

  50. k.... ....

    Perry’s voice was much smoother and higher than Frank Sinatra’s. He also had a tiny accent in how he pronounces specific words that Frank didn’t have.

  51. M.... o....

    God is a dick, this man's face looks like handcrafted by him. Meanwhile I'm ugly, don't have this good voice and never got laid

  52. K.... H....

    Wearing me a bright red dress! I’m in dancing mode!

  53. M.... A....

    0:01
    Killing me softly with Perry Como's song.

  54. M.... A....

    Goosebumps

  55. e.... ....

    Dang, how old is this song?

    e.... ....

    Old enough to actually be considered music

  56. V.... S....

    His voice is beyond beautiful...

  57. R.... A....

    Beautiful! Okay, I just added this to my favorites list.

  58. A.... M....

    Me gusta más que Sinatra

  59. P.... ....

    My god this is the song Sangwoo sings in Killing Stalking

  60. M.... K....

    So I had this big conception that Frank Sinatra sang this as well but it's him who actually sang it. Thanks for clearing my misconception.

  61. K.... b....

    Pinche sangwoo de mierda :((((

  62. S.... A....

    This song is very pure, I'm happy to find the real version before I die

    S.... A....

    Sahar A. Still alive??

    S.... A....

    Nah she dead

    S.... A....

    @drozdzik 007 yes

    S.... A....

    Sahar A. Thanks God !!!

    S.... A....

    @drozdzik 007 ur profile pic is amazing

  63. J.... G....

    When I listen to Lana del Rey this is what I sing

  64. N.... J....

    makes you wonder who's the woman that inspired this timeless song

    N.... J....

    Lori Libberman

    N.... J....

    And Roberta Flack they collaborated

    N.... J....

    Actually it was inspired by Don McLean. Lori Lieberman saw him and wrote a poem about him. The poem was then transformed into a song. Lieberman was the first one to sing it.

  65. T.... I....

    My life is a lie

  66. k.... i....

    sangwoo question mark

  67. K.... K....

    Don't hate Frank Sinatra! I guess he hadn't come up with the idea for stealing a song. It is someone else's fault and it has continued in time.

  68. R.... C....

    Justo había escuchado está canción hace dos horas y YouTube me la recomienda :o

  69. S.... Z....

    Actually Roberta Flack was the artist that made number 1 on the charts. What made Perry Como such a great artist was that he could sing without any effort it just came as natural as breathing. One of the great artist of any time

  70. A.... b....

    it kills when he said killing me softely in the low note

  71. N.... M....

    This feels like a Ballad from Latin America

  72. P.... J....

    😎 Perry Como was certainly one of the CLASSIEST & MOST HANDSOME of 20th century American 'CROONERS.' And personally, I think he was even 'CUTER' than Sinatra❗ 😗

  73. A.... y....

    Omg a video that actually got it right, it has always been perry como voice.

  74. V.... K....

    2019 Dec, 15

  87. E.... V....

  88. K.... K....

    Thank you Youtube for your recommendation! ♥️

  89. S.... S....

    Love how Lauren Hill from the Fugees used this song but was filmed talking shit about white people😑😑😑

  90. B.... N....

    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

  91. E.... d....

    Es de frank sinatra

  92. M.... E....

    another song stolen by the 13-50

  93. L.... ....

  95. U.... L....

    this is so beautiful
