Twelfth of Never

You ask me how much I need you Must I explain I need you oh my darlin' Like roses need the 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 So 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 I'll love you 'til the poets Run out of rhyme Until the twelfth of never And that's a long, long time So hold me close Never let me go Just hold me close Melt my heart like April snow You ask how much I need you Must I explain I need you oh my darlin' Like the roses need the rain You ask how long I'll love you I'll tell you true Until the twelfth of never I'll still be lovin' you So hold me close And never let me go Just hold me close Melt my heart like April snow I'll love you 'til the poets Run out of rhyme Until the twelfth of never
