Love Love Love
St. Boheme 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
The lyrics to St. Boheme's song Love Love Love convey a deep sense of the eternal nature of true love. The repeated phrase "our love is here to stay" emphasizes the lasting power of their love, which is not a passing fancy like the radio, telephone, or movies. The reference to the potential crumbling of the Rockies and Gibraltar, both iconic symbols of strength and stability, implies that even the most solid things can falter and fall. However, the persistence of their love is unwavering, not built on superficial elements that may change with time.
The song's overall tone is one of hope and optimism, with the belief that their love will endure. The repetitive nature of the lyrics and the gentle melody create a sense of comfort and reassurance. The use of "our" throughout the song indicates a shared love and journey, which will continue to grow and flourish.
The lyrics could be interpreted as a declaration of commitment and devotion to a loved one, promising to weather any storm and stand together forever. The song's message of steadfast love is timeless and universally relatable.
Line by Line Meaning
It's very clear, our love is here to stay
Our love is not just a superficial feeling; it is deep and will last forever
Not for a year but ever and a day
Our love is not temporary but eternal
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
The technology we have now may change or disappear over time
May just be passing fancies and in time may go
These passing fancies are not as important as our love, which is here to stay
But oh, my dear, our love is here to stay
Our love is unbreakable and steadfast
Together we're going a long, long way
Our love will endure through all of life's challenges
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
Monuments and structures may fall, but our love is unbreakable
They're only made of clay
In the grand scheme of things, physical structures are insignificant compared to our love
But our love is here to stay
Our love is eternal and will survive anything that comes our way
