As Time Goes By (with Mark Warnow & The Hit Parade Orchestra) (Rehearsal) - Frank Sinatra

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Moonlight and love songs never out of date,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.

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.
