Tony Bennett - 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 get 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,

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never out of date.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.

The world will always welcome lovers,

as time goes by.
