Our Love Is Here to Stay

"Our Love Is Here to Stay" is a popular song and a jazz standard. The music was written by George Gershwin, the lyrics by Ira Gershwin, for the movie "The Goldwyn Follies" (1938) which was released shortly after George Gershwin's death. "Our Love Is Here to Stay" also appeared, perhaps most memorably, in the 1951 MGM picture An American In Paris, for which it served as the main theme. It also appeared in 1995's Forget Paris in which it is actually a reference to An American In Paris. The song was the very last composition George Gershwin completed.

The correct title, as published, is "Love Is Here To Stay".Fact|date=May 2008 The song is emblematic of the Great American Songbook, with both an introductory verse and a chorus.
