Mathis, Johnny - Killing Me Softly With Her Song Lyrics
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,
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
Strummin' my pain with her fingers,
Singin' my life with her words,
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
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

Thanks to God for this wonderful, unbelievable voice !!! I love it !🌹
When he revealed he was gay a few years ago, I bet that broke the heart of generations on women, similar to how women felt when the late George Michael came out years ago. But despite everything, , it's his life and his fans still love him and his timeless music. That's the mark of true fans. He was before my time, but I have always liked his tunes. He seems like a sweet person as well too.
Johnnies songs r harmonious, melodious and the ever best. I cannot pass my day without listening to them!
Uma espécie rara: intérprete da canção.
To Johnny.... you are the one constant source of comfort in the hearts of many throughout the world. You were there with us as we grew up thru those dreamy eyed teenage years...
thru the vulnerable stages of dating as we were all searching for our soul mate...through our engagement days filled with joy and sweetness....through our marriage and family raising days that were filled with love and happiness and sometimes with sorrow and disillusionment. As always you were there to comfort us with your songs, even now,
after our loved ones have passed on, leaving an empty spot in our hearts that is filled with the sweet memories your songs created for us. You are everyone's Best Friend Forever, there with us thru the good and the bad times and that's what friends are for. No wonder the whole world loves you, Johnny, not only for your music but for your gentleness, your
kindness and humility. I believe I can speak for millions of others when I say we love you Johnny and consider you one of our family.
Beatiful and wonderful.
He is such a gorgeous man with a heavenly voice. I'm happy to be here to witness such beauty.
Amazing man and the best singer in the world
Beautiful! Voice Johnny Mathis Excelent!
What a beautiful voice
I listen to your songs from the age of 16 and still listen to them at the ripe age of 68.the memories just pour into my heart and soul of the lovebirds that I courted.the greatest singer that we have been blessed with.
Boa música faz toda diferença.

Trop beau
Johnny Mathis is one of those gifts from God that descend to Earth very rarely, and we are fortunate to be here at the same time as him. He is so above and beyond all other interpreters, that the next in line is way out of sight...
the best one!

Hi.. Just to clear some things up... Recorded first by: Lori Lieberman........ Shortly after she returned to America to study in her late teens, Lieberman was signed to a production, recording and publishing deal struck between Capitol Records and songwriters Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel. Lieberman's contributions to the process were occasionally credited during this period of her career, most notably on "My Lover Do You Know" which appeared on her first album, 1972's Lori Lieberman, and which was singled out for praise by Billboard magazine.[
In the gap between her first and second albums, "Killing Me Softly With His Song", a track from Lieberman's debut, was recorded by Roberta Flack - becoming a US #1 and international hit and rapidly overshadowing Lieberman's own, more understated original which had until that point been gaining traction on radio. Undeterred, Lieberman returned in 1973 with Becoming, her first album to achieve a placing on the Billboard Top 200.
Johnny Mathis version of this song is superior, much better than Lieberman's
That's what music is all about.. Enjoy.. I'm not choosing, loving it all
@PJ Guz Cool ;)
Hi.. JM is one of my favorite artist. His vesion of the 12th of never and Holy Night are truly awesome. I've been listening to him since 1956.. yeah I'm a relic... lol

Incrível!
Fico com Elvis Presley e Johnny Mathis como o dois maiores mitos da musica mundial!
