Love Is Here To Stay
Louis & Ella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not for a year but ever and a day
Oh the radio and a telephone, 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 on a long, long way
In time the rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
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
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 forever and a day
Our love is here to stay, our love is here to stay
In "Love Is Here To Stay," Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald sing about the undying nature of their love. The song emphasizes that their love is not a passing fancy but rather a permanent fixture in their lives that will endure forever. The repetition of the lyrics "our love is here to stay" reinforces this idea and drives home the point that their love is strong and unwavering.
The use of the radio, telephone, and movies as passing fancies is a metaphor for the fleeting nature of modern life. While technology and entertainment may come and go, love remains a constant. Even the mighty rockies and Gibraltar, which seem immovable and impenetrable, are not as enduring as their love.
Overall, the message of the song is simple but powerful: love endures, no matter what. It is a testament to the strength and power of true love, which can weather any storm and overcome any obstacle.
