Love Is Here To Stay
Rudy Martin 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

Rudy, today I learned of your passing on home to the Lord. I hear your magnificent voice and have WONDERFUL
memories of our our more youthful days.
RIP dear one. I know you're with Our Lord. Rest easy, rest well. As we who remain here in this earthy hamlet attempt to do the same. Until we meet again, Rudy.
Your friend, Helen

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
