As Time Goes By
Supersax & L.A. Voices Lyrics

The lyrics of Supersax & L.A. Voices's As Time Goes By speak of a desire to hold onto a moment in time, a moment that is already slipping away. The opening lines ask if the commotion of the past can still be heard, as the desire to stop time in its tracks is so strong. The singer is enveloped in the softness of the past, reminiscing about days gone by and how everything seemed too bright and overwhelming. Even though the singer should have known what was coming, their words seem empty and hollow.

The chorus speaks of the desire to keep dreaming the same dream, to have the same leaves that danced in the wind fall onto their heart. The singer doesn't want their lover to ever disappear, and promises to always be there, even if they have to become a clown to do so. The second verse speaks of how confusion can close off seasons and how it was the singer's dream that floated away like white foam. Altogether, the lyrics of As Time Goes By speak of the weight of nostalgia and the reluctance to let go of a past love, even as time moves forward into the unknown.
