Love is Here to Stay

by George and Ira Gershwin

with Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron

The more I read the papers
The less I comprehend:
The world and all its capers
And how it soon 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.
