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

You ask how much I need you
Must I explain?
That I need you, oh my darling
Like roses need the 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 will love you till the bluebells forget to bloom
And I’ll love you till the clover has lost it’s perfume
And I’ll love you till the poets run out of rhymes
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 will love you till the bluebells forget to bloom
And I’ll love you till the clover has lost it’s perfume
And 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
