Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fell in love with you the first time I looked into them there eyes
And you have a certain lil cute way of flirtin' with them there eyes
They make me feel so happy, they make me feel so blue
I'm fallin', no stallin' in a great big way for you

My heart is jumpin' you started somethin' with them there eyes
You'd better look out little brown eyes if you're wise
They sparkle, they bubble, they're gonna get you
In a whole lot of trouble, oh baby, them there eyes

I fell in love with you the first time I looked into
You have a certain lil cute way of flirtin'
They make me feel so happy, they make me feel so blue
Fallin', no stallin' in a great big way for you

My heart is jumpin' you started somethin' with them there eyes
You'd better look out little brown eyes if you're wise
Sparkle, bubble, get you in a whole lot of trouble




I'm lookin' for the boy with the wistful eyes
I fell in love with them there eyes

As Time Goes By - Anna Nalick - Lyrics

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that, you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs, never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Musical Interlude

Moonlight and love songs, never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
