"As Time Goes By" lyrics - BRUCE COCKBURN

This day and age we are living in, gives 'cause for apprehension
With infinite dimensions and robot interventions
But we've grown a little weary with AI and quantum theory
We must get down to earth again, relax, relieve the tension

No matter what the progress or what may yet be proved
The basic 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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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Moonlight and love songs, never out of date

[Chorus:]
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

[Instrumental break]

[Pre-Chorus:]
Moonlight and love songs, never out of date

[Chorus:]
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
