As Time Goes By

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 just 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Moonlight and love songs never out of date.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.
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers as time goes by.
