You ask how much I need you; well, I´ll 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.

BRIDGE:

Hold me close, never let me go.
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.

(Return to bridge and pick up.)

Hold me close, never let me go.
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.

TAG:
Until the twelfth of never and that´s a long, long time.
