Our Love Is Here To Stay
Aaron Neville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day.
Oh, the radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies,
And in time may go.
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.
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
But our love is here
To stay.
The lyrics of Aaron Neville's song Our Love Is Here To Stay express the deep and enduring love between two individuals who are committed to each other for life. The opening line "It's very clear, our love is here to stay" is a statement of certainty that their love is not temporary, but rather it is an everlasting commitment. The second line "Not for a year but ever and a day" reinforces the idea that their love is not just a mere infatuation or a fleeting emotion, but rather a lifelong commitment that will never diminish.
The song compares the intangible and fleeting nature of popular culture, such as the radio, telephone, and movies, to their undying love. The phrase "may just be passing fancies, and in time may go" implies that these things are not enduring and can be easily forgotten. However, the line "but oh my dear, our love is here to stay" reminds the listener how their love will outlast any of these fleeting fads.
The last two verses describe how even natural wonders, such as the Rockies and Gibraltar, may crumble and disappear, but their love will remain forever. By the end of the song, the listener realizes that this love will persist beyond any boundaries or obstacles that may arise.
Overall, the lyrics of "Our Love Is Here To Stay" convey a powerful message of the resilience of love and the strength of commitment in the face of change and transience.

Our love is here to stay
Our love is long-lasting and enduring
Not for a year
Our love is not temporary or short-lived
But ever and a day
Our love is eternal and timeless

They're only made of clay,
They're vulnerable and fragile
But our love is here
But our love remains
But our love is here
But our love endures
To stay.
Forever and always.
