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

(bridge)

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, 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
