Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
Oh, the radio and the telephone
Movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
[Verse 2]
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going on a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
[Verse 3]
It's very clear our love is here to stay
Not for a year but ever and a day
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
[Verse 4]
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
[Verse 5]
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay, it's here to stay
Together we're going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But forever and a day our love is here to stay
Our love is here to stay
