Casablanca (1942)
Movie Synopsis

Nightclub owner Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) is a bitter American expatriate living with
regrets amidst the glamour and turmoil of Morocco during World War II.
His life takes a few unexpected turns, first when he comes into the possession of
two valuable letters of transit, and again when his one-time love Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman)
arrives in town with her husband Victor Laszlo, leader of the Czech underground,
who is wanted by the Nazis. Rick is faced with a series of dilemmas,
concerning his feelings towards Ilsa and the possibilities that the letters of transit
may hold for them both.

As Time Goes By

[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Never out of date.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.
