As Time goes by

This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension.
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory.
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension

And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed.]

You must remember this
A kiss is just 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Never out of date.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.

Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.

Bem mangado Penichêro!
Belo tet-a-tet entre a Ingrid Bergman e o Dooley Wilson com a interrupção estilo "chico-espertismo à americana" do Humphrey Bogart (sem Óscar).
Melodia fantástica, apetece ouvir vezes sem conta.
Muito bem mangado mesmo.

Melodia e letra, acrescento, fantásticas. Não têm espaço temporal.
A minha sensibilidade não me deixa passar por esta postagem sem, de novo, a ouvir e ler, porque:
"The fundamental things apply
As time goes by."

Mas o Humphrey, sem Óscar ainda pensou que tinha ganho o Óscar... só não deu conta foi que tinham dito o nome do Paul Lukas no filme Watch on the Rhine em vez do seu.
