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(F)Moon light and love songs, (A7)nev er out of date,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