You ask how much I need you
Must I explain?
I need you, oh my darlin', 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 blue bells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
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

That's a long, long time
That's a long, long time
