Autumn Leaves
Jerry Lee Lewis · Other Songs - Jerry Lee Lewis
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants desunis
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous deux ensemble
Toi qui m'aimais moi qui t'aimais
Mais la vie separe ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants desunis

Jerry Lee Lewis's rendition of the jazz standard "Autumn Leaves" showcases his ability to infuse classic material with raw, high-energy rock and roll. Known for his pounding piano style and explosive stage presence, Lewis often reinterpreted songs from outside the rock genre, bringing a distinctive Southern intensity to established melodies. This recording highlights his versatility as a performer who could command both upbeat rockers and more subdued, atmospheric numbers. The track stands as a testament to his enduring influence in American music, demonstrating how a legendary artist can reshape a timeless composition through sheer force of personality and virtuosic instrumentation.
