As Time Goes By

[Verse 1]
Didn’t mean to make you worry
Or keep you up at night
Sorry for my temper
You taught me how to fight
And though I’m doing better
I still get lost sometimes
I’m happy that I’ve had you
To help me get it right

[Chorus]
As time goes by
I’m learning how to see things
Through your eyes
Now I understand
Inheriting your clarity
Gave me solid ground to grow on
We go on as time goes by

[Verse 2]
Brought me up on ‘80s songs
The Brat Pack and John Hughes
Told me it’s alright to cry
It’s better to love and lose
Even when I’m gone awhile
You’re there to light my path
I always look to you
To help mе make it back

[Chorus]
As time goes by
I’m lеarning how to see things
Through your eyes
Now I understand
Inheriting your clarity
Gave me solid ground to grow on
We go on as time goes by

[Bridge]
The years move by faster still
I hope that I will have the strength
To hold on like you do
Hold on like you do
Even when we have to part for good
I hope that I will have the strength
To hold on like you do
I’ll hold on for you

[Pre-Chorus]
As time goes by
I’m learning how to see things
Through your eyes
Now I understand

[Chorus]
As time goes by
I’m learning how to see things
Through your eyes
Now I understand
Inheriting your clarity
Gave me solid ground to grow on
We go on as time goes by, oh

[Outro]
Inheriting your clarity
Gave me solid ground to grow on
We go on as time goes by
