123. AS TIME GOES BY 1931 |
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NEVER OUT OF DATE.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.
