As Time Goes By Lyrics
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still (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Moonlight and love songs - never out of date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
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still (just) a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
They still say: "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate
Woman needs man - and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

aww, nobody's discussed this song lol. well i like casablanca and this song goes perfectly with it. sinatra could take any song and make it amazing =) 'you must remember this; a kiss is still a kiss'
this song is amazing. as is casablanca.
Not to take anything from Frank Sinatra or many of the other folks that sang this song, but it's crucial to point out that Dooley Wilson's take on it, which is the version from "Casablanca," is the quintessential version. He delivered the song in a manner that it was meant to be delivered. Simply put, it was meant to be sung that way.
As for it's meaning, I always thought it paralleled the movie's theme, which was one of sacrifice of love for greater causes (like saving the world).
There's nothing like a good old fashion love song.This song truly captures the magic of love,heart break,and time along with reality.I agree with Seahawkfan,he did really good.
such a difference between cheesy songs and classic, this is definatly a classic (although it's a little bit cheesy,lol)

I think that it's talking about love's immortality 'as time goes by' (just stating the obvious).
