Our Love Is Here To Stay

The singer expresses confidence that a romantic relationship will last. The mood is warm and reassuring: although many things in the world change or disappear, the couple’s love is presented as lasting. The repeated statement that their love is “here to stay” gives the song the feeling of a promise, and “together” suggests they will continue through life as a pair.

The lyrics contrast everyday inventions and entertainment with natural landmarks. The radio, telephone, and movies are called “passing fancies,” meaning things that may be popular or important for a while but could eventually fade. The Rockies and Gibraltar represent something that seems permanent because of its size and strength. Saying even they might crumble makes the claim about love sound especially powerful. “Going a long, long way” is an expression meaning that the relationship will continue far into the future.

The song’s certainty can be heard as sincere devotion, but also as romantic exaggeration. Mountains and famous landmarks are unlikely to vanish soon; imagining their collapse emphasizes the speaker’s faith rather than making a literal prediction. The lyrics do not explain what keeps the love strong or whether the couple will face difficulties. Instead, they focus on the speaker’s hopeful belief that their bond will outlast changing fashions and even apparently solid things.
