You ask how much I need you
Must I explain
I-I need you oh my darlin'
Like roses ned 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 close
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 poets
Run out of rhyme
you-you-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...
