Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Gene Sullivan Wiley Walker

When my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbows turn the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
I'll be back within your arms to stay

When the memories that linger in my hearts
Those memories they make [Incomprehensible]
Well, some day, some day they gonna live again, sweetheart
And my blue moon again will turn to gold

Well, when my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbows turn the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
I'll be back within your arms to stay

Well, when my blue moon turns to gold again
Oh, when the rain drops turn the clouds away
Oh, when my blue moon turns to gold again
I'll be back within your arms to stay
I'll be back within your arms to stay
I'll be back within your arms to stay
I'm coming back within your arms to stay

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.
