(1957) 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



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

A long, long time
