Canción inspirada en el poema de Lory Lieberman, "Killing me softly with his blues", quien lo escribió tras ver interpretar "Empty Chairs" al, por entonces, desconocido Don Mclean.
"Roberta Flack - Killing me softly with his song"
"Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words ..."
