"Oh, a kiss is still a kiss in Casablanca / But a kiss is not a kiss without your sigh"
Higgins wrote the song for his then-girlfriend, Beverly, after they watched the classic film starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman together.
"I guess there are many broken hearts in Casablanca / You know I’ve never really been there, so I don’t know"
When he finished the track, he played it for her; she was so moved that she accepted his marriage proposal .
"I fell in love with you watching Casablanca / Back row of the drive-in show in the flickering light"
Many listeners mistakenly believe "Casablanca" is the official theme song of the 1942 movie. In reality, the film's famous song is "As Time Goes By," which Higgins references in his lyrics.
