Love Is Here To Say
Bill Evans Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
But our love is here to stay
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
The song "Love Is Here To Stay" performed by Bill Evans Trio is a romantic ballad that expresses the deep and profound love of a couple. The first two lines of the song make it clear that their love is not just for a year, but forever. The use of "our" in the lyrics also indicates that this is a mutual feeling that both the partners share. The song takes a twist by contradicting the popular culture mediums such as the radio, telephone, and movies which are often associated with romance. The song posits that they may just be passing fancies and may disappear with time. However, one thing that will not fade out is their love. The lyrics reiterate the significance of their love and its lasting quality despite the impermanence of other things in life.
The lyrics continue to emphasize the longevity of their love by using a metaphor of natural wonders – the Rockies and Gibraltar. The chords "In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble" are symbolic of the inevitability of change and impermanence. However, the lasting strength of their love, captured in the final line of the song, "But our love is here to stay," is a testament to its endurance.
Line by Line Meaning
It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Our love is unmistakable and enduring
Not for a year but ever and a day
Our love is not short-term, it lasts forever
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
The entertainment media we consume may come and go
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
Entertainment media trends are fleeting and ephemeral
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Our love is truly permanent
Together we're going a long, long way
We'll be together for a really long time
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
Natural wonders may erode and fade over time
They're only made of clay
Wonders of the natural world are ultimately made of the same materials as everything else
But our love is here to stay
But our love will never fade or erode, it's truly permanent
