Love Is Here to Stay
Enduring Love: Beyond Passing Fancies
Lyrics
It's very clear
Expressing clarity
Our love is here to stay
Affirmation that love will endure permanently
Not for a year
Not just for a limited time
But ever and a day
But for an indefinite, eternal duration
The radio
Suggesting that external things like media or entertainment might be temporary distractions, likely to fade with time
And the telephone
-And the movies that we know
-May just be passing fancies
-And in time may go
-But oh my dear
Reiteration of love's permanence
Our love is here to stay
Reaffirming that the bond will last
Together we're
Expressing commitment to a long-lasting journey together
Going a long, long way
-In time the rockies may crumble
Metaphorically mentioning the potential for monumental things to change or deteriorate, contrasting with the enduring nature of love
Gibraltar may tumble
-They're only made of clay but
-Our love is here to stay
Reasserting the everlasting quality of their love amidst the uncertainty of other things
The radio
Reiteration of transitory nature of external elements compared to the enduring love
And the telephone
-And the movies that we know
-May just be passing fancies
-And in time may go
-But oh my dear
Reaffirming the enduring presence of love
Our love is here to stay
Reiterating the commitment to a long-lasting journey together
Together we're
-Going a long, long way
-In time the rockies may crumble
Repeating the metaphor of monumental change, highlighting the contrast with their lasting love
Gibraltar may tumble
-They're only made of clay but
-Our love is here to
Final reaffirmation of the eternal nature of their love
Our love is here to
-Our love is here to stay
