You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh, the fundamental things apply,
As time goes by . . .
An' 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Moonlight an' love songs never out of date,
Hearts full of passion, jealousy an' 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 an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by . . .
( instrumental verse three )
It's still the same old story, a fight for love an' glory,
A case of do or die, the world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by . . .

as rec by Tony Bennett
This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension,
With speed and new invention,
And things like third dimension;
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mister Einstein' the'ry,
So we must get down to earth,
At times relax, relieve the tension.
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Moonlight and love songs never out of date,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.

LE TEMPS QUI PASSE
Titre original: "As Time Goes By"
(Herman Hupfield / B. Bergman) (1986)
Eddy Mitchell (France)
Faudrait pas qu't'oublies
Une nuit c'est pour une nuit
Fini veut dire fini
C'est comme ça, que veux-tu que j'y fasse
C'est l'temps qui passe
Fauché ou les poches pleines
On s'dit toujours je t'aime
Ça sera toujours comme ça
La dessus tu ne peux pas faire l'impasse
C'est le temps qui passe
Les violons sous la lune
Oui ça marche encore
J'me grille une autre brune
Tu vois j'fais un effort
L'homme pour la femme
Ça se joue à pile et face
C'est chaque chose à sa place
C'est toujours la même histoire
Ça parle d'amour de gloire
A la vie à la mort
Ça colle et puis un jour ça s'casse
C'est le temps qui passe
C'est toujours le même vieux truc
Princesse, palace en stuc
Amour, impaire et passe
C'est beau mais voilà ça s'efface
C'est le temps qui passe
Les violons sous la lune
Oui ça marche encore
J'me grille une autre brune
Tu vois j'fais un effort
L'homme pour la femme
Ça se joue à pile et face
C'est chaque chose à sa place
Faudrait pas qu'tu oublies
Une nuit c'est pour une nuit
Fini veut dire fini
C'est comme ça, que veux-tu que j'y fasse
C'est l'temps qui passe
