(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 Ill love you
Ill tell you true
Until the twelfth of never
Ill still be loving you

Hold me close
Never let me go
Hold me close
Melt my heart like april snow

Ill love you til the bluebells
Forget to bloom
Ill love you til the clover
Has lost its perfume
And Ill love you til the poets
Run out of rhyme
Until the twelfth of never
And thats a long, long time

Hold me close
Never let me go
Hold me close
Melt my heart like april snow

Ill love you til the bluebells
Forget to bloom
Ill love you til the clover
Has lost its perfume
And Ill love you til the poets
Run out of rhyme
Until the twelfth of never
And thats a long, long time
Until the twelfth of never
And thats a long, long time
A long, long time
