(herman hupfeld)

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
the world will always welcome lovers
as time goes by

moonlight and lovesongs never out of date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
the fight for love and glory
a case of do or die
the world will always welcome lovers
as time goes by
