(c)1972 Lyrics Norman Gimbel / Music Charles Fox
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#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 heard she sang a good song, I heard she had a style
And so I came to see her to listen for awhile
And there she was this young girl, a stranger to my eyes#

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#

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
And she just kept on singing, singing clear and strong#break#
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From Wikipedia:
Lori Lieberman is an American singer. She was born in California and grew up in Switzerland, and signed a deal with Capitol Records in the early 1970s. Her self-titled debut album featured the tune "Killing Me Softly with His Song", said to have been written after seeing Don McLean in concert.
The tune was reworked by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel, and would go on to be a chart-topping single for Roberta Flack a few years later. Lieberman released several albums on Capitol in the 1970s and also provided music for the Schoolhouse Rocks TV show in the late '70s and early '80s. In the 1980s Lieberman receded from the industry and had three children; in the mid-1990s she began recording again for independent labels."
