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
The lyrics of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald's song "Our Love Is Here to Stay" emphasize the eternal, unbreakable nature of true love. The opening lines suggest that the love between the two is not only unwavering but is bound to stay forever. The second and third lines express that although the modern inventions of radio, telephone, and movies may be gone with the times, their love will never be. The beauty of this love lies in its solidity and resilience that can withstand the tests of time.
The chorus reiterates the same sentiment that their love is stronger than any material thing, including mountains and Gibraltar rock, which are symbolic of strength and stability. The lines "They're only made of clay but our love is here to stay" indicate that nothing in this world is eternal, be it material things, but their love is different from other worldly things, and it will continue to thrive.
In conclusion, the song's underlying message is that true love is not fleeting and can endure throughout a lifetime. Despite the inevitable ups and downs that life brings us, "Our Love Is Here to Stay" holds steadfast and provides a sense of security.

Louis Armstrong is not only the voice, not only the trumpet, he is the JAZZ!
@KenTzu
After having listened to this song hundreds of times throughout my life, it wasn't until today that I noticed the lil' transition Louis does when he hands it off to Ella around the 1:16 mark by saying "take it, Ella." In my head, I just imagine Ella standing there waiting while smiling at Louis and him beaming when he passes the song over to her because he knows he's about to hear one of the most gorgeous female voices of all time.
