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
