THE TWELFTH OF NEVER
(Jerry Livingston-Paul Francis Webster)

You ask how much I love 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 till the bluebells forget to bloom
I’ll love you till the clover has lost its perfume
I’ll love you till the poets run out of rhymes
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
