(Paul Francis Webster/Jerry Livingston)

You ask me how much I need you
Must I explain
I need you oh, my darling
Like roses need rain
You ask how long I`ll love you
I`ll tell you true
Until the twelfth of never
I`ll still be loving you.

Hold me close
Never let me go
Hold me close
Melt my heart like April snow.

I`ll love you `til the bluebells
Forget to bloom
I`ll love you `til the clover
Has lost its perfume
And I'll love you 'til the poets
Run out of rhyme
Until the twelfth of never
And that's a long, long time.

Until the twelfth of never
And that`s a long, long time...
