The Twelfth of Never

You ask how much I need you

Must I explain

I need you, oh my darlin'

Like roses need rainYou ask how long I'll love you

I'll tell you true

Until the twelfth of never

I'll still be loving youHold me close

Never let me go

Hold me close

Melt my heart like April snowI'll love you 'til the blue bells

Forget to bloom

I'll love you 'til the clover

Has lost its perfumeI'll love you 'til the poets

Run out of rhyme

Until the twelfth of never

And that's a long, long timeUntil the twelfth of never

And that's a long, long time...

A long, long time...
