As Time Goes By

"Sam" (Dooley Wilson)
Written by: Herman Hupfield

This day and age we're living in Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention And things like fourth dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such They cannot be removed

You must remember this A kiss is still a kiss A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply As time goes by
And when two lovers woo They still say, "I love you" On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs Never out of date
Hearts full of passion Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man And man must have his mate That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers As time goes by
