Ella Fitzgerald

As Time Goes By

As Time Goes By (Herman Hupfeld, 1931)


You must remeber 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Moonlight and love songs never out of date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 moone 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.
