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...
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,
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...

Como, Perry Killing Me Softly With Her Song Comments
It's amazing how the same song can be executed so differently depending on the artist.
2020 anyone?
For years I thought it was Frank Sinatra's song, I am sorry Perry Como you are a legend.
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.
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.
Today the connection is bad .call you later bye
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.
Listening in 2020 the most beautiful song I’ve heard in my life
Whos here who cant sleep cuz you in love and just listening to this and cant stop thinking about her/him.
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!
Give it an ambient 80s like tone perfect 80s style vampire love movie!
In another life I was a busker
To set the record straight, Como covered Flack who covered Lori Liebermann in this song. I feel that Lori never gets enough credit.
Great Version ...
lagunya bang mandra di SDAS
I truthfully like this better then Sinatras Version
Ethan Monseees actually Sinatra never covered it (not officially) so it was both Perry’s version you listened to
The fuck? Did you listen to the same song twice and say one was better then the other?
Lauryn hill did the best rendition I love them all but Lauryn hill and the fugees did the best version
2020? This song is a sweet lullaby ❤️
Never knew he was the OG of this song. Learned something new today.
ok but have you all just heard the fugees version....
That's sinatra.
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.
Anyone here cuz it reminds you of killing stalking??
Who is here after reading comments from Sinatra?
Wait but I think it was Lori lieberman who originally sang it though......
Zhavia.
Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly brought me here
Poor Oh Sangwoo...
I am building a time machine to take me back to the 50’s!!!
Una gran cancion😀😀😀😀
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.
Thanks it was very hard to understand him my ears got so wet listing to his voice
@Sum yung guy Glad it could help, I need it for singing practice :) Happy 2020
-Killing him softly with his saw.
-Killing him soflty?
-With his saw.
y'all know guys
don't care if sinatra or como
just enjoy this masterpiece
Great to see Como getting credit. First time I heard this it was listed as Frank Sinatra....? Amazing song
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 :- )
The extra verse I didn't know 😭 cos I only knew the fugees version.
so attractive... we need more men like this in music!
is every song just a cover?
Anyone know who the background singers are?
PC did NOT write this song, ya'll. Before you start arguing, google it.
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
I watched enough Godfather to know that the credits goes to sinatra because of the mafia
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 .
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
Since my marriage i must understand that the begining was a lie..the end will be a lie..no feelings..no security..no loyalty
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..
Wow! I had no idea he sang this first. This is so beautiful. The flow of his voice is so calming. I love this.
Fugees loves both!
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.
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
Wearing me a bright red dress! I’m in dancing mode!

Killing me softly with Perry Como's song.
Goosebumps
Dang, how old is this song?
Old enough to actually be considered music
His voice is beyond beautiful...
Beautiful! Okay, I just added this to my favorites list.
Me gusta más que Sinatra
My god this is the song Sangwoo sings in Killing Stalking
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.
Pinche sangwoo de mierda :((((
This song is very pure, I'm happy to find the real version before I die
Sahar A. Still alive??
Nah she dead
@drozdzik 007 yes
Sahar A. Thanks God !!!
@drozdzik 007 ur profile pic is amazing
When I listen to Lana del Rey this is what I sing
makes you wonder who's the woman that inspired this timeless song
Lori Libberman
And Roberta Flack they collaborated
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.
My life is a lie
sangwoo question mark
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.
Justo había escuchado está canción hace dos horas y YouTube me la recomienda :o
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
it kills when he said killing me softely in the low note
This feels like a Ballad from Latin America
😎 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❗ 😗
Omg a video that actually got it right, it has always been perry como voice.
2019 Dec, 15
we need his vioce back on the waves of real music , Sadly missed Mr Perry ,like elvis ,dean / frank S / Bing crosby /Ray price / charlie rich / merle hagard and many that held real heart n soul of emotions , I miss you
Robert is thieving for Veronique.
I'm so glad I found this song ♥️
U so cute
Wow Frank Sinatra looks weird in this picture lol
Report Sinatra upload. Let's settle this once and for all. Like of reporting Sinatra upload
This is beautiful
Also I can't even find the one with Frank Sinatra, everyone uploading the song thinks they're the same guy.
оБАЖАЮ……….ДО БЕСКОНЕЧНОСТИ...…………..
I cry every time I hear this
this is amazing. does anyone want to work?
wait this song wasnt written by the fugees?
The best version.
I always thought this was made in the 60s it just has that sound but I just found out it wasn’t
First time... Beautiful
Thank you Youtube for your recommendation! ♥️
Love how Lauren Hill from the Fugees used this song but was filmed talking shit about white people😑😑😑
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
Es de frank sinatra
another song stolen by the 13-50
This needs to be on Spotify damn it!! Best version
Better than Lauren Hill wth 90% less racism!
this is so beautiful
