If I sent a rose to you
For every time you made me blue
You'd have a room full of roses
If I sent a rose of white
For every time I cried all night
You'd have a room full of roses;

And if you took the petals and tore them all apart
You'd be tearin' at the roses just the way you tore my heart!

If someday you're feelin' blue
You could send some roses too!
Well, I don't want a room full o' roses
I just want my arms full o' you!

You'd have a room full of roses

You'd have a room full of roses

And if you took the petals and tore them all apart
You'd be tearin' at the roses just the way you tore my heart!

If I sent a rose to you
For every time you made me blue
You'd have a room full of roses
If I sent a rose of white
For every time I cried all night
You'd have a room full of roses;

And if you took the petals and tore them all apart
You'd be tearin' at the roses just the way you tore my heart!

If someday you're feelin' blue
And you could send some roses too
Well, I don't want a room full o' roses
I just want my arms full of you!

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.
