According to Wikipedia, Ira did write the lyrics after George died.
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Is_Here_To_Stay )
But perhaps more accurate is the account that says they had worked on the chorus together and it was after George died that Ira wrote the introductory verse.
The more I read the papers
The less I comprehend
The world with all its capers
And how it all will end.
Nothing seems to be lasting.
But that isn't our affair;
Weve got something permanent,
I mean in the way we care.
