Love Is Here To Stay / Of Thee I Sing

Maureen McGovern · Naughty Baby: Maureen McGovern Sings Gershwin [1989]

The more I read the papers,

The less I comprehend

The world and all its capers

And how it all will end

Nothing seems to be lasting

But that isn't our affair

We have something permanent

I mean in the way we care

Of thee I sing, baby

Summer, autumn, winter, spring, baby

You're my silver lining

You're my sky of blue



There's a lovelight shining

Just because of you

Of thee I sing, baby

You have got that certain thing, baby

Shining star and inspiration

Worthy of a mighty nation

Of thee I sing
