Lori Lieberman - Killing Me Softly with His Song

And so, Here is the song that EVERYBODY who enjoys this type of music should recognize. This is the song that Lori Lieberman is well known for [even though Roberta Flack made it a worldwide hit]. This is the song that was ORIGINALLY recorded by Lori herself. This is the song that begins the 1st side of her self-titled debut album. This is also the MOST published song out of all of Lori's song and I'm so happy to share it with you as well. This is the FIRST and ORIGINAL version of "Killing Me Softly with His Song" as performed by Lori Lieberman.

THESE ARE THE LYRICS [AS WE SHOULD KNOW]:
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 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
