You ask 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 till the blue bells forget to bloom I'll love you till the clover has lost it perfume I'll love you till the proverbs 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.
