As Time Goes By

As Time Goes By
music and lyric by Herman Hupfeld

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 Mister Einstein's theory;

So we must get down to earth at times; relax;

Relieve the tension.

And no matter what the progress or what might 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Moonlight and love songs, never out of date.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...

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...
