Johnny Mathis-The Twelfth of Never lyrics

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.
