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 That's a long, long time
