Lyrics As Time Goes By

As Time Goes By was composed by Herman Hupfeld in 1931 for the Broadway musical Everybodys Welcome. It gained worldwide fame when featured in the 1942 film Casablanca, becoming one of the most iconic songs in movie history.

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Never out of date,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.
