Nina Simone - The Twelfth of Never lyrics

(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 it's 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 it's 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
