Remembering Julie On Her Birthday: August 14
I Do Remember This
As Time Goes By is another of those old-fashioned songs Julie1 and I listed in the category of “Our Song.”2 and it seems to fit the occasion of her birthday.
As Time Goes By
Louis ArmstrongYou 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Never out of date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 byMoonlight 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Never out of date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

I am sorry to read that you lost your wife…….nice that her memory lives on in your heart.
I have no idea how old you are but I am over 50 and know how hard it is to reconnect at this stage of life. I wish you the best and another woman to love you…one that will embrace Julie’s memory.
