Mathis, Johnny - As Time Goes By Lyrics






This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed

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Never out of date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

Well, 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 Best Days of My Life 1979

  38. l.... v....

    she proably listens in private!!!

  39. R.... ....

    I'm haping you enjoyed it and and of course, I agree with you about Johnny's singing.

  40. V.... D....

    It is impossible for Johnny to sing a bad song. His voice then and now is and always will be one of greatest voices of all time and he is still going strong after 50 years of recordings. No one comes close to him. Great Video ReadMe.

  41. R.... ....

    Maybe, she's hearing impaired.......LOL. ....Just a little joke. Thanks for coming by. I know one person who doesn't like him either and that's what I said to him.

  42. A.... R....

    Read Me Would you believe I have a great lady friend of mine who is 53 yrs old & does not care for JM's music.? She still is a great friend,But we do not discuss it any more anyway.? Sad isn't it.?

  43. R.... ....

    I surely agree with you and your wife. I've seen him so many time over 50 years that I lost count. And, up until I saw him last year (which is live video also on my channel), he is still as wonderful as ever. Have a great rest of the weekend. You might like to check the live video out. Happy Thanksgiving.

  44. A.... R....

    Is mine & my wife's favorite singer saw him in person at Radio city NY years ago.Second row stage seats.& Johnny does not need a Mic when he sings. Unbelievable voice,& still going strong.I don't think that JM ever sung or recorded a bad song yet.?

  45. c.... g....

    Fantaaaaaaaaaaaaaaastic almost unreal,full of emotion....

  46. L.... R....

    Belíssima interpretação desse gênio da música romântica.

  47. R.... ....

    @star01fly Thank you......Merci. : )

  48. s.... ....

    Your video is great!!! Congratulations!!! A voz dele é incomparável e as imagens ficaram maravilhosas! Ameiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!

  49. I.... M....

    È um clássico do cinema ea música também,me transporta aos meus 17 anos!

  50. N.... S....

    Ah yes - his nickname was "One note Johnny" for his ability to hold a note
    to the point you lost your own breath. The guy was my "corta venas" when I was young
    It was the song you listened to when your heart was broken.

  51. A.... ....

    BEAUTIFUL!

  52. s.... ....

    play it again, johnny......absolutely beautiful...

  53. R.... ....

    @beweau I don't think a day has gone by in years where I haven't listened to JM. I know what you mean by addicted. I can listen to others and do but only for a short time and then, go right back to JM.

  54. b.... ....

    "Play it once Sam, for old times sake". Who could forget thise line. I think I've seen "Cassablanca" houndred times. Beeing scandinavian I love Ingrid of course, though I was only a little child at the time. As always, when Johnny touch a song, it's his for ever. Once and for all, period. His voice, I'm totally addicted to it.
    From Norway: Berit.

  55. A.... ....

    Magnificent! Melody and voice

  56. R.... ....

    @fatstrat66 You're welcome. Always love hearing from someone who didn't hear a song by Johnny before. It's like a new release. Thanks for sharing.

  57. d.... ....

    it FOURTH dimension!!!

  58. R.... ....

    I agree......all wonderful. Thanks for stopping by.

  59. j.... ....

    I have been told that the intro to this type of song is called a "verse". Amazing voice. I remember seeing/ hearing him, and Nat King Cole, and Perry Como, of course, with my Mum when we first acquired a black and white TV. All wonderful!

  60. R.... ....

    Johnny recorded "Sweet Thursday" on the album "Johnny's Newest Hits." The song is not on CD yet, except in the UK. JM's "Keeper of the Archives" who knows every song and where it's at is going to let me know if she can find the title of the British CD, so that you can purchase it online if you like. Hopefully, she can. Please write me a message request because I have 53 videos up and I may lose your screen name. Hopefully, I'll have an answer for you soon.

  61. R.... d....
