As time goes by.

     Dm                    G7  
And when two lovers woo,
                           G7

Moonlight and love songs,

Never out of date,

Hearts full of passion,

Woman needs man,

It' s still the same old story,

A case of do or die.

The world will always welcome lovers,
    Dm7    G7     C  
As time goes by.
