Lyrics

You (Dm7)must re mem ber (G7)this, a (G7)kiss is still a kiss, a (F7)sigh is just a sigh;

the (Ebdim)fun da men tal things ap (Em7)ply, (A)as (Dm7)time (G)goes (A)by.

And (Dm7)when two lov ers (G7)woo, they (G7)still say, “I love you,” on (F7)that you can re ly;

no (Ebdim)mat ter what the fu ture (Em7)brings, (A)as (Dm7)time (G)goes (Dm)by.

(F)Moon light and love songs (A)nev er out of date,

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

wom an needs (F7)man and (D7)man must have his mate, that (G9)no one (Gdim7)can de (G)ny.

It’s (Dm7)still the same old (G7)sto ry, a (G7)fight for love and glo ry, a (F7)case of do or die!

The (Ebdim)world will al ways wel come (Em7)lov ers,

(A)as (Gsus)time

(G6)goes

(C7)by.

wom an needs (F7)man and (D7)man must have his mate, that (G9)no one (Gdim7)can de (G)ny.

It’s (Dm7)still the same old (G7)sto ry, a (G7)fight for love and glo ry, a (F7)case of do or die!

The (Ebdim)world will al ways wel come (Em7)lov ers,
