Harbor LightsJerry Lee Lewis

Released: August 23, 2014

Songwriter: Hugh Williams Jimmy Kennedy

Producer: Knox Phillips

I saw the harbor lights, they only told me we were parting
The same old harbor lights that once brought you to me
I watched the harbor lights, how could I help if tears were starting
Goodbye to tender nights beside the silvr'y sea

I longed to hold you near and kiss you just once more
But you were on the ship and I was on the shore
Now I know lonely nights, for all the while my heart is whisp’ring
Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me

I long to hold you near and kiss you just once more
But you were on the ship and I was on the shore
Now I know lonely nights, for all the while my heart is whisp'ring
Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me

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.
