Our Love is Here to Stay song lyrics

Song lyrics to Our Love is Here to Stay (1937) music by George Gershwin, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, Sung by Gene Kelly in An American in Paris

(Verse)
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

(Chorus)
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
