Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Fred Rose Mel Foree

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

No one will ever know my heart is breaking
Although a million tears start to flow
I'll cry myself to sleep and wake up smiling
I'll miss you, but no one will ever know

I'll tell them we grew tired of each other
And realize our dreams could never be
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me

No one will ever know how much I'm pining
Each time the past comes back to haunt me so
No one will ever see the tears I'm hiding
You've hurt me, but no one will ever know

I'll tell them I've found true love with another
That I was glad the day you set me free
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth, but me

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.
