[edit] Errors in Intro
I fixed the part of the intro which quotes the song's first verse. Original text said "chorus;" there is no chorus to the song. It's the first verse. I also changed one of the lnies to reflect the way I've heard it sung (including, I think, in Casablanca): "A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh." Very commonly mis-quoted as "a kiss is just a kiss," but in the context of the lyrics saying that the good stuff matters & ignore the bad, the other makes more sense, and is, as far as I can tell, accurate.

- Casablanca does not play the full song. Most noticeably, it leaves out the first verse. In fact, you can listen to Rudy Vallee's version in order to hear what the film left out. In addition, 'still' is the correct word. Even though this was changed to 'just' in the film, it is 'still' in recorded versions. --PhantomS 00:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] copied & pasted stuff
As part of a major overhaul, have put cover versions etc. in chronological order and deleted the following items from the article page 'cos they have no time reference. Please return them to the article in their chronological order:
- The song is used as the theme of the British comedy TV series As Time Goes By.
- The song was performed by American Idol finalist John Stevens (singer) during season 3.
- Tom Waits' "Bad Liver and a Broken Heart" from his album Small Change begins and ends with a few accords from the song.
- The song was played by a single violin at the funeral of Casablanca's lead actress Ingrid Bergman, being one of the most touching moments of the event.
