Casablanca: "As Time Goes By" - Versions (2015) torrent

"As Time Goes By" is a song written by Herman Hupfeld for the 1931 Broadway musical “Everybody's Welcome”.

The song was re-introduced in 1942 in the film “Casablanca”, sung by Dooley Wilson accompanied by pianist Elliot Carpenter and heard throughout the film as a leitmotif.

The original song referred to Albert Einstein's concept of time as a fourth dimension, but this connection was lost by the omission of the first verse in most performances. In “Casablanca”, Dooley Wilson omitted the verse and cut to the chorus.

The song was voted No. 2 on the AFI's “100 Years...100 Songs”-special, commemorating the best songs in film.

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 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Never out of date.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 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.
