Was looking for those lyrics earlier and all the time I thought they were Roberta Flack's. But they appear on the net as Aretha Franklin's. So now I have the doubt.

Neither. The lyrics were composed by Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel, inspired by a poem by Lori Lieberman.
Lori Lieberman sang it first in 1971. Roberta Flack released it in 1973, It has also been recorded by Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross, the Fugees, and a number of famous artists.

The lyrics were written by Norman Gimbel and the lyrics by Charles Fox. It was originally recorded by Roberta Flack and redone a few years back by the Fugees. Gimbel and Fox also wrote the theme to the show Happy Days.

It was sung by Roberta Flack. I heard that it was inspired by a performance by Don McLean.
