Lyrics

You (G7)must re mem ber this, a (G7)kiss is still a kiss, a (Am7)sigh is just a sigh;

the (Ebdim7)fun da men tal things ap (Dm7)ply as (Dm7)time goes (Fmaj7)by.

And (G7)when two lov ers woo, they (G7)still say “I love you,” on (Am7)that you can re ly;

no (Ebdim7)mat ter what the fu ture (Dm7)brings as time goes (C)by.

(F)Moon light and love songs, (A7)nev er out of date,

(Dm)hearts full of pas sion, (D#dim)jeal ous y and hate;

(F)wom an needs man and (D)man must have his mate, that (B)no one (Gdim7)can de ny.

It’s (G7)still the same old stor y, a (G7)fight for love and glor y, a (Am)case of do or die.

The (Ebdim7)world will al ways wel come (Dm7)lov ers

(Dm7)as time

(G7)goes

(C)by.
