(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 its 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 its 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
