Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A kiss is just 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
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Never out of date.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.
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Never out of date.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.
Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by.
The song "As Time Goes By" talks about the evergreen nature of love and how some things never change. The opening lines "You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh" convey the message that while the world might change, the fundamental things that make us human, like loving someone, will always stay the same. The phrase "As time goes by" appears twice in the song and signifies that while the world may evolve, the core values of love, romance, and relationships remain the same.
The lyrics of the song also highlight the basic needs of human beings, such as the fact that every woman needs a man, and every man needs a mate, which can't be denied. The song also touches upon the complexity of relationships, with lines such as "Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate." This complexity and the struggle for love and glory remain the same for centuries, as depicted in the line "It's still the same old story, a fight for love and glory, a case of do or die."
Overall, the song "As Time Goes By" depicts how love will always remain an integral part of human life and how it will continue to thrive, even as the world changes rapidly.

I heard this song performed by Sinatra, Paul Anka. Best of all its sung by Enge: clean and expressive tone. And somehow life-affirming!
