Cover of the song originally recorded in 1971 by Lori Lieberman, made famous by Roberta Flack’s 1973 version and revived in 1996 as the first smash hit for Lauren Hill and the Fugees.
The song was written for Lieberman by Norman Gimbel and set to music by Charles Fox. According to Lieberman, Gimbe...
[Verse 1]:
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
[Chorus]:
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
[Verse 2]:
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he’d found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on...
[Chorus]:
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
[Verse 3]:
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 he was there with a stranger
Singing clear and strong
[Chorus]:
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
[Outro]:
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly...
