Cryin’ TimeJerry Lee Lewis

Featuring: Linda Gail Lewis

Songwriter: Buck Owens

Producer: Shelby Singleton Jr.

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I  can see that far away look in your eyes
I  can tell by the way you hold me darlin', ooh
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Now they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
And  that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well  my love for you could never grow no stronger
If I lived to be a hundred years old

Oh,  it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin', yeah now
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Now  you say you've found someone that you love better
That's the way it's happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door

Oh, it's cryin' time again, you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darlin', all right now
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
