You ask how much I need you-ou
Must I explain
I-I need you oh my darlin'
Like roses nee-eed rain
You ask how long I'll love you
I-I'll tell you true
Until the twelfth of never
I'll still be loving you

Ho-old me close
Never let me go
Ho-ho-old me clo-ose
Me-elt my heart like April snow-ow

I'll love you 'til the blue be-ells
Forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover
Has lost its perfume
I-I'll love you 'til the poe-ets
Run out of rhyme
you-you-until the twelfth of never
And that's a long lo-ong time

Until the twelfth of never
And that's - a - long - long - time...
A long-long time...
