Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like third dimension
[Verse 2]
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax, relieve the tension
[Verse 3]
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed
[Verse 4]
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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Never out of date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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
(Times don't change, Rod)
(Sing it too me, Latifah, one time)
[Verse 9]
Oh, I'm singing it to you right now
'Cause we're talking about
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
[Verse 10]
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
[Verse 11]
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
As time goes by
Time goes by
