5 -5 5 -4 4 -4
You must remember this,

5 6 -5 5 -4 -5
a kiss is still a kiss,

6 7 -7 -6 6 -6
A sigh is just a sigh.

-7 -8 7-7 -6 -7 7 6
The fundamental things apply,

6 4 -4 5
As time goes by.

5 -5 5 -4 4 -4
And when two lovers rue,

5 6 -5 5 -4 -5
they still say, "I love you,"

6 7 -7 -6 6 -6
On that you can rely,

-7 -8 7 -7 -6 -7 7 6
no matter what the future brings,

6 4 -4 4
As time goes by.

4 -4 4 -6 -6
Moonlight and lovesongs,

-6 -7 -6 6 -6
never out of date

5 -5 5 -6 -6
Hearts full of passion,

-6 -7-6 6 -6
jealousy, and hate.

5 -5 5 7
Woman needs man

7 7 -7 7 -7 -8
and man must have his mate--

-7 -6 -6 5 5 6
That, no one can deny.

5 -5 5 -4 4 -4-4
It's still the same old story,

5 6 -5 5 -4 -5-5
a fight for love and glory

6 7 -7 -6 6 -6
A case of do or die.

-7 -8 7 -7 -6 -7 7 6 6
The world will always welcome lovers,

6 4 -4 4
As time goes by.

--repeat from "...Moonlight and love songs...."

5 6 -6 7
end: "...as time goes by."
