If the world keeps on turning
Like I'm sure it's bound to do
Then I'll keep on loving you
Well, if the stars in heaven cease to shine down on me
And I'll keep on loving you

Well, what if things change, the sky might fall
The dawn wouldn't come, world would stall
I wouldn't care long as you're near
It wouldn't matter to me at all

If the world keeps on turning
Like I'm sure it's bound to do
Then I'll keep on loving you

Now what if things change, the sky might fall
The dawn wouldn't come, world would stall
I wouldn't care long as you're near
It wouldn't matter to me at all

If the world keeps on turning
Like I'm sure it's bound to do
Then I'll keep on loving you

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.
