As Time Goes By

This day and age we’re living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like third dimension
Yet we grow a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein’s theory
So we must get down to earth at times,
Relax, relieve the tension
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
kiss is just a kiss
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never out of date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
