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 bluebirds

Forget to sing

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

Until the Twelfth of Never

And that's a long, long time

that's a long, long time
