Love Is Here To Stay

Tony Bennett

Words by Ira Gershwin and Music by George Gershwin. This was George's last song before

he died.



This version did not chart but

In 1938, Larry Clinton took it to # 15 and Red Norvo was right behind at # 16.

Sung in the 1938 film "Goldwyn Follies" by Kenny Baker

Sung in the 1951 film "An American In Paris" by Gene Kelly



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 goin' 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
