Verse:

This day and age we're liv -ing in gives cause for ap -pre -hen -sion, With speed and new in -ven -tion, and things like third di -men -sion,

Yet, we get a tri -fle wear -y, with Mis -ter Ein -stein's the -'ry, So we must get down to earth, at times re -lax, re -lieve the ten -sion.

No mat -ter what the pro -gress, or what may yet be proved, The sim -ple facts of life are such they can -not be re -moved.

 

Chorus:

You must re -mem -ber this, a kiss is still a kiss, A sigh is just a sigh;

The fun -da -men -tal things ap -ply, As time goes by.

And when two lov -ers woo, they still say, "I love you." On that you can re -ly;

No mat -ter what the fu -ture brings, As time goes by.

Moon -light and love -songs nev -er out of date, Hearts full of pas -sion, jeal -ous -y and hate;

Wo -man needs man and man must have his mate, That no one can de -ny.

It's still the same old sto -ry, a fight for love and glo -ry, A case of do or die!

The world will al -ways wel -come lov -ers, As time goes by.
