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 radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
Various forms of media and entertainment may come and go, but they are not as important as our love

These passing fancies may fade with time and lose their popularity or relevance
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay

I remember your songs when I was in middle school in the mid 70s and your radio air play on KFJL SOUL 98.9 FM and you were always in OKC performing in night clubs. I gave a damn good memory of you. R.I.P
