Our Love Is Here To Stay
Eternal Love Resilient Amidst Life's Uncertainties
Lyrics
The more I read the papers
The singer expresses difficulty understanding the information presented in newspapers.
The less I comprehend
The more the singer reads, the less they comprehend about the world and its various activities.
The world with all its capers
A reference to the world's unpredictable and sometimes foolish behavior or actions.
And how it all will end.
The uncertainty about the ultimate fate or conclusion of the world is acknowledged.
Nothing seems to be lasting.
An observation that nothing in the world appears to be permanent or enduring.
But that isn't our affair;
The impermanence of worldly matters is contrasted with the stability of the singer's relationship.
We've got something permanent,
The singer asserts that they share something enduring and lasting in their relationship.
I mean in the way we care.
This enduring quality is specified as the way they care for each other.
It's very clear
A statement emphasizing the clarity of the singer's understanding about the longevity of their love.
Our love is here to stay;
The singer declares that their love is permanent and not temporary.
Not for a year
The longevity of the love is emphasized by stating that it's not just for a year.
But ever and a day.
The singer further emphasizes the enduring nature of their love, extending it to "ever and a day."
The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know
Various forms of media, such as radio, telephone, and movies, are mentioned as transient and passing.
May just be passing fancies,
The mentioned media may be temporary and fleeting.
And in time may go.
There is a recognition that these passing fancies may disappear over time.
But, oh my dear,
A reaffirmation that, despite the transient nature of other things, the love between the singer and their partner is enduring.
Our love is here to stay;
A repetition emphasizing the lasting nature of their love.
Together we're going a long, long way.
A statement expressing the commitment to a long journey together.
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble,
A metaphor suggesting that even geological structures like the Rockies and Gibraltar may crumble, but their love remains unshaken.
They're only made of clay,
The impermanence of physical structures is emphasized by stating they are "made of clay."
But our love is here to stay.
A final affirmation that their love is enduring and will withstand the test of time.
