Herman Hupfeld — 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 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Never out of date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
Well, 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
