Lyrics
The more I read the papers
The less I comprehend
The world and all its capers
And how it all will end
Nothing seems to be lasting
But that isn’t our affair
We’ve got something permanent
I mean in the way we care
Refrain
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
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
