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Never out of date 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
