Love Is Here To Stay
Petula Clark · Other Songs - Petula Clark
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 going 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
In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay

The song serves as a reminder of her extensive catalogue, which spans decades of musical evolution. By selecting such a definitive standard, Clark aligns herself with the legacy of American songwriting, delivering a performance that emphasizes lyrical sincerity and melodic warmth without relying on fleeting trends.
