As Time Goes By

The line "Play it again, Sam" never fails to conjure up the scene in Casablanca in which Humphrey Bogart, drunk and despondent in his deserted café, listens as Dooley Wilson plays and croons the memory-evoking strains of "As Time Goes By." Though the film was released in 1942, the song had actually been introduced 11 years earlier by Frances Williams in a long-forgotten Broadway musical, "Everybody's Welcome."

Consider this contribution as a contender for (Nit Picker of the Year Award).

Dooley Wilson did not play the piano in Casablanca. He faked it as he was a singer only.

Now the question is, who played that melancholy piano anyway?
-- The Ol'Kunnel.

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Moonlight and love songs never out of date,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.

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.
