Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Tommy Duncan

Producer: Jerry Kennedy

There was a time when I thought of no other and we sang our own love's refrain
Our hearts beat as one as we had our fun but time changes everything
When you left me my poor heart was broken and our romance seemed all in vain
The dark clouds're gone there's whole lotta shakin' goin' on
Cause time changes everything

Time has passed then I have forgot you yes I have
Mother nature does wonderful things
But I guess that it's true for me and for you cause time changes everything
Oh you change the name of an old song rearrange it and now make it swing
I thought nothing could stop ol' Jerry Lee from loving you but time changes everything
So goodluck to you may God bless you I can't say we won't love again
You have gone your way and ol' Jerry's gonna his cause time has changed everything
I said time has changed everything

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.
