However, this was one of Morissette's biggest hits.

It tells the story of an angel (Cage) who falls in love with a woman and decides to become a human to stay with her.

"As Time Goes By" was written in 1931 by Herman Hupfeld, as the theme for the Broadway musical "Everybody's Welcome". It is interesting to note that the award-winning composer Max Steiner (1888-1971) responsible for the film's score, hated the song "As Time Goes By" and intended to use a song of his own instead.

In the film, a retired singer (Doris Day), her husband (Jimmy Stewart), and their son are aware of a plot to assassinate the prime minister. Their son is kidnapped and the couple uses music to communicate with him.
