"'As Time goes by' is a song that was written by Herman Hupfield in 1931. It achieved international popularity when it was sung by the character Sam( Dooly Wilson) in the movie 'Casablanca.' The song was voted Number two as the best film song in a hundred years. In its composition are the words, 'A kiss is just a kiss, a smile is just a smile, a sigh is still a sigh. The fundamental things apply as time goes by.' One of the most beautiful songs ever written, yet questionable in part its message by inclusion of the word 'just' as there simply nothing 'mere' about a kiss, smile or sigh. Such expressions speak much more than words can ever betterhttp://youtu.be/d22CiKMPpaY." William Forde:March 19th, 2013.
