Love Is Here To Stay
Frank Sinatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
And Gibraltar it may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love, our love is here to stay
The song “Love is Here To Stay” by Frank Sinatra is a touching tribute to the power of love. It conveys an unshakeable belief in the unbreakable nature of love as a bond that persists through time, despite the transient nature of life itself. The singer is confident that his love is real and ever-enduring, even as he contrasts it with fleeting experiences like listening to the radio, watching a movie, or talking on the telephone. He acknowledges that these things may fade away and be forgotten, but his love will remain.
The use of metaphor and imagery in the lyrics further emphasizes the strength of the singer’s convictions. He suggests that even landmarks like the Rockies or Gibraltar may erode and deteriorate, but his love will endure. The song thus expresses a sense of faith in the power of love to overcome the ephemeral and transient experiences of life. It suggests that even as we journey through the world, facing trials and tribulations, we can take solace in the fact that love is here to stay.
