Its 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 were going a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble, gibraltar may tumble
Theyre only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

instrumental interlude

In time the rockies may crumble, gibraltar may tumble
Theyre only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
