Love Is Here To Stay
Emergency Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble




They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

Line by Line Meaning

It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Our love is certain and will endure


Not for a year but ever and a day
Our love is not temporary, but long-lasting


The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
All these modern forms of communication are inconstant and may disappear over time


May just be passing fancies and in time may go
They are fleeting trends that do not hold the same importance as our love


But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Our love is strong and will endure


Together we're going a long, long way
We will go through life together, for a long time


In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
Natural formations can erode and disappear over time


They're only made of clay
Just like the rest of the physical world, they are impermanent


But our love is here to stay
Our love will remain constant despite the impermanence of the physical world
