Lyrics

You (G)must re mem ber this,

a (G7)kiss is just a kiss,

a (Am)sigh is just a sigh;

the (B)fund a men tal things ap ply

as (F)time (G)goes (F)by.

And (G)when two lov ers woo,

they (G7)still say β€œI love you,”

on (Am)that you can re ly;

no (B)mat ter what the fu ture (Gsus4)brings, as (G#9)time (F)goes (C6)by.

(Fmaj7)Moon light and love songs,

nev er out of date,

hearts full of pas sion,

(Dm)jeal ou sy and hate,

(F)wo man needs man

and (Dm)man must have his mate,

that (Em)no one can

de (G)ny.

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

The (B)world will al ways wel come (G)lov ers

as (D7sus4)time

(Gsus4)goes

(Cmaj7)by.
