Love is the Answer
Rosas 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
Rosas's song Love is the Answer is a love song that talks about the permanence of love. The first verse explains that the love between the two people is not temporary, unlike passing fancies such as the radio, telephone and movies. In fact, the love between them is evergreen and here to stay, not just for a year but forever. The second verse emphasizes the strength and longevity of their love by comparing it to physical landmarks. The Rockies and Gibraltar are known for their durability and strength, yet they too may crumble one day as they are made of clay. However, the love between the two individuals is more than just physical and is beyond the control of time or any external factors.
The song is a beautiful reminder that true love lasts forever, transcending distance, time and all obstacles in life. It is a tribute to the power of love and the importance of cherishing it. The soothing melody and the heartfelt lyrics create a nostalgic and peaceful vibe, reminding us of the beauty of love.

It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Our love is not temporary but a permanent fixture in our lives
Not for a year but ever and a day
Our love will last forever, beyond any time limit
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
All the modern forms of entertainment may not last, but our love will endure
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay

But our love is here to stay
However, our love will remain steadfast and unchanging through it all
