Does "Time goes fly" make sense in English language?
Thanks

Not really, no. One would say either "time flies" or
"time goes flying." Perhaps "time goes by" would also
express the same thought.

I'll leave it to somebody else to mention the old joke
about the man who threw the clock out the window.

No.

The expression is usually "Time flies".

It would be grammatical to say "Time goes flying".

I remember it as:

"You must remember this -
a kiss is _still_ a kiss,
a sigh is _still_ a sigh....
no matter what the future brings
as time goes fly."

If I am wrong, I am sure someone will tell me.

[th@out Death of Rats]

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.
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs a man
And man must have his mate
That no-one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love or glory
A case of do or die
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.

It would make sense if it said: `As time goes by'.

I don't have a recording of the song, but I think you're
both right. As I recall it, two of the verses have
almost-but-not-quite-identical words.

"And when two lovers screw
They both say 'I love you' ..."
