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 love you

i'll tell you true

until the twelve of never

i'll still be loving you

hold me close

never let me go

hold hold me close

melt my heart like april snow

i'll love you till the bluebells forget to bloom

i'll love you till the clover has lost its perfume

i'll love you till 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

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 love you

i'll tell you true

until the twelve of never

i'll still be loving you

until the twelfth of never

and that's a long long time
