Here's looking at you, kid!

Watched Casablanca for the nth time..... lovely as ever!!

I did some research on the famous song sung by Sam....
"As Time Goes By" written by Herman Hupfeld in 1931.. It became most famous in 1942 when it was sung by Sam (Dooley Wilson) in the movie, Casablanca. The song was voted #2 on the "AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs special", commemorating the best songs in film

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Never out of date.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.



Thanks to Warner Bros for the movie and making the song famous...

The piano playing in the film version was performed by Elliot Carpenter, with Dooley Wilson singing.

The song's famous opening line - "You must remember this..." - is actually the start of the fourth verse as originally written and performed. However, Dooley Wilson did not sing the preceding three in Casablanca. Most subsequent versions have similarly omitted them, leading them to have become virtually unknown to most listeners.
