Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Keep your heart from me cause some day I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love

Too many nights (Too many nights)
Too many stars (Too many stars)
Too many moons could change your mind
If I'm gone too long don't forget where you belong
When the stars come out remember you are mine

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night; in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Keep your heart from me cause some day I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love

Too many nights (Too many nights)
Too many stars (Too many stars)
Too many nights to be alone
Oh, please come on home
Get it back where you belong
And when the stars come, remember you are mine

Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Don't let the moon break your heart
Love blooms at night; in daylight it dies
Don't let the stars get in your eyes
Keep your heart from me cause some day I'll return
And you know you're the only one I'll ever love

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.
