You must remember this,

5  6  -5   5   -4  -5
a kiss is still a kiss,

6  7   -7  -6  6  -6    
A sigh is just a sigh.

-7  -8  7-7 -6    -7   7  6
The fundamental things apply,

6   4   -4   5
As time goes by.

 5  -5    5  -4 4   -4   
And when two lovers rue,

 5    6    -5    5 -4   -5
they still say, "I love you,"

6   7   -7  -6  6 -6  
On that you can rely,

-7 -8 7   -7   -6  -7  7    6
no matter what the future brings,

6   4   -4   4
As time goes by.

 4  -4     4   -6  -6    
Moonlight and lovesongs,

-6 -7 -6  6  -6
never out of date

  5    -5   5  -6 -6    
Hearts full of passion,

 -6 -7-6   6  -6
jealousy, and hate.

 5 -5   5    7  
Woman needs man

 7   7  -7    7   -7   -8
and man must have his mate--

-7    -6 -6  5   5 6
That, no one can deny.

 5   -5    5   -4    4  -4-4   
It's still the same old story,

5   6   -5   5   -4  -5-5
a fight for love and glory

6   7  -7 -6 6  -6
A case of do or die.

-7   -8    7   -7 -6  -7  7    6 6
The world will always welcome lovers,

6   4   -4   4
As time goes by.

--repeat from  "...Moonlight and love songs...."

         5   6    -6  7
end: "...as time goes by."
