Our love is here to stay

Lyricist: ...     Composer: George Gershwin

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.

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.

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.
