Jimmy Durante - As Time Goes By Lyrics






You must remember this,
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,
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Never out of date,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 need 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.

    Jimmy Durante, of Clayton, Jackson and Durante fame. A real professional entertainer.

  16. C.... F....

    "Sleepless in Seattle" brought us here!!!

  17. A.... L....

    i saw the Swooner Crooner cartoon by Porky Pig and i immedietly tried to find the music from it . IM SO GLAD I DID

    It is a sad song and Jimmy Durante wrenches even more pathos from it.

  26. F.... M....

    He sang frosty the snowman

  27. P.... C....

    I do miss this guy; I am well past three score and ten. As a young boy, and as a young man, I felt JD was a hokey embarassment to the entainment wortld. He wasn't; I now appreciate him and his renditions of these feeling lyrics.

    my all time favor version , better than frank sinatra" the voice"

  37. S.... B....

    love this song😭❤

  38. C.... D....

    Tombstones can't tell the stories of life; they just mark the end of it. But nothing can mark the beginning of life. How can an unknown start end on a known stone?

  39. k.... d....

    S'funny, pretty much anybody who ever sang a song had a better voice, but nobody ever SANG better! EVER!

  40. H.... G....

    Perfect Wedding Song.

  41. B.... L....

    Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are...

  42. J.... B....

    It was our wedding song in 1975. "The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by"

  43. T.... H....

    Great pictures!

  44. P.... J....

    Jimmy was great. Watched him during the 50's.

  45. N.... F....

    so relaxing to listen.

  46. J.... C....

    Jimmy's a great  edifice of entertainment, laughter, love, and good times. We could all use a bit of what Jimmy had to offer.

  47. O.... J....

    anyone know the year this song was released?

    O.... J....

    1964 is the earliest I can find it on any of his albums.

  48. I.... S....

    seria perfeito na versão de MANOWAR

  49. v.... ....

    a beautiful song if you like it then your ok in my book

    v.... ....

    I LOVE it, how about that?

  50. T.... ....

    Don't make fun of Jimmy's nose, wouldn't you like to have it full of nickels??... Seriously, Jimmy was a journeyman piano player in his time. Pretty amazing, considering that his finger were like his nose... When I was young, he was on TV a lot, I loved him as a kid. His voice, never the best was mostly gone then. However, he had something That made people love him. Warmth and character. Bless you Jimmy, RIP.

  51. t.... a....

  57. J.... M....

    What happened to us as people? I was most definitely born in the wrong time.

    J.... M....

    +Adriana The entirety of the human race made do without the technology we have now since its creation up until only a few decades ago. Had he been born in that generation, he would have been fine, and probably would think that it couldn't get any better as far as invention/technology is concerned - which is the case with the majority of people regardless of time period.

    J.... M....

    I agree.

    J.... M....

    John Milner same as john😊

    J.... M....

    Feel the same.

  58. A.... 8....

  59. A.... T....

    GREAT SONG

  60. J.... K....

    Jimmy...Thank you, Mr. Durante, where ever you are! :)

    J.... K....

    Not in our hearts and minds.

    J.... K....

    i wish he was in dead in our minds. he really sucked.

    J.... K....

    jbond5150 How are you going to come here and listen to this man's music and say "he sucks"? how about not listening to his music, if you think that about him. You are probably one of those young idiots that listen to this new bullshit, and mistake it for real music, Jimmy was and still is the man!

    J.... K....

    @Jim Kahn Good night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!

  61. H.... ....

    Достойный кавер.

  63. C.... S....

    I must have been just a baby in my crib when I first heard this song.  I sure like it.

  64. 2.... ....

    Happy New Year guys!!

  65. s.... S....

    joseph, no, you're right.  a Christmas song would have been great,  not really sure if one was made.

    s.... S....

    Frosty the Snowman . .ever hear of it?  or are you just trollin ?

  66. C.... R....

    Wonderful ,they don't make them like this anymore. He sang from the heart

  67. J.... D....

    J.... D....

    +Joseph Damon This person??? Do yourself a favor & watch all his videos. Maybe even hit Google for this very legendary "person." And yup...jdloco.....Frosty it is :)

    J.... D....

  68. K.... B....

  69. J.... R....

    Sleepless in South Florida, love this song

  70. E.... C....

    Here's looking at you kid!!-Thank you Jimmy Durante!!! your version of this song WAS the best.!! 

  71. P.... T....

    Yes, a great talent. Pretty much forgotten now, sadly.

    P.... T....

    I miss all the great talent's of the 40's and 50's. What a great time!!, that it was to be young!! Yes very sad indeed. Will the USA every return to a romantic, calm, and simply time again....:(

    P.... T....

    @Eddie C Allman His career spans much farther back from the 40's! some of his best movies are from the early 30's :P

    P.... T....

    That is also the era of racism and queer-phobia, so...

    P.... T....

    Not so, I remember the 30s and 40s very well. It''s  just that people did not scream " look at me , I'm different ".:

    P.... T....

    lenny mcready And of course we no longer have those things today, right? I’d trade the past for our screwed up corporate owned present

  72. E.... L....

    Unique!

  73. T.... D....

    Love ya, Jimmy.  Glad I got to see him on live TV.

  74. H.... N....

    Jimmy was one of the most beloved figures in entertainment. After the death of his first wife he remarried and the couple attempted to adopt. The Department of Adoptions refused to allow him to adopt due to his age (67). It made the front pages and there was an uproar by his adoring public (all of L.A.). He was finally allowed to adopt a daughter who lived to be 90 and gave him two grandchildren. He is one of the few Hollywood legends that everyone loved. 

    H.... N....

    Due to the movie "Sleepless in Seattle", I came to know Jimmy.  I really love his song of 'Make Someone Happy'.  It is touching and happy.

  75. d.... ....

    Waxing nostalgic, my mom sang all these songs when I was a lad.  She sang just like Jimmy, and was a a great comedienne, I'll Be seeing you Jimmy and Mom, one fine day when I get to Heaven.

  76. D.... A....

    Beautiful memories ! :)

  77. J.... H....

    Good night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.

  78. E.... D....

    I love this. I laugh lovingly through my tears because this is REAl music. I'm knowing my generation disappoints me with all the crazy.

  79. S.... ....

    Yes Rebecca I have to agree with you. What is out there now is total rubbish and not even worth listening to. This is what music is all about. It never dates.

  80. b.... ....

    Missing old JD tonight as I listen to his tunes.

  81. b.... ....

    Thanks Jimmy, your schnozzle made mine feel just a bit better.

  82. j.... m....

    i love you jimmy

  83. b.... ....

    I'm not in love with anyone, but I already know that this is my wedding song. Not up for negotiation

  84. M.... A....

    Just rewatched Sleepless in Seattle. Beautiful song/rendition. Nothing beats the classics :)

  85. R.... J....

    Music like this actually brings tears to my eyes. You just can't compare it to the music out today, (which is sadly, my generation) - this is real music.

  86. b.... m....

    god bless mrs callabash

  87. R.... ....

    Dooley Wilsons version is best in my opinion :)

  88. D.... W....

    hey Jimmy, do you mind if I stand under your nose, until it stops raining.?

  89. w.... ....

    Splendid rendition

  90. J.... ....

    Thank you! You take care as well.

  91. b.... ....

    His version is the best :) ..in my opinion

  92. S.... P....

    My taste in REAL talent brought me here :)

  93. J.... ....

    I wish I grew up in this era. Love the movies, the music, everything. I'm 18! :D

  94. S.... ....

    I cant agree more..Talent was real talent not because you were a moron with some sextape or disfunction.Men were men and woman were women,its slippin away fast..

  95. j.... ....

    Ingrid Bergman...Look it up, you've got a computer!

  96. J.... L....

    Don't mean to be this guy....But that is MOST DEFINITELY Lauren Bacall, NOT Ingrid Bergman. You had it right the first time. As much as I would love it to be...it's just not Ingrid. It's the Bogey/Bacall -- Cinema's best marriage (in my opinion).
