Killing Me Softly . . .

Killing Me Softly - Frank Sinatra

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

Ehr... Joe, The Voice never sang this song. This is now world famous Perry Como, whose voice is miraculosly simmilar to His.

It's a great version, though. Beautiful.

Some people dont know anything about music, the first edition of the alltime classic songs is all ways greatest than the remixes like the one of the fugees, without telling that they are not good.

Those of you who say this is Perry Como and NOT Frank Sinatra are absolutely right.

I know, because I have the album from which it came, 1973's "And I Love You So".

Perry's rendition of KMS seems to be inspired more by Lori Lieberman's original version, than by Roberta Flack's more famous cover.

Sinatra never recorded this song. Not that he didn't want to; he probably just never had the opportunity.
