Pat Kelly - Twelfth or Never

You asked how much I need you

Must I explain?

I need you, oh, my darling

Like roses need rain

You asked 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 bluebells forget to bloom

I'll love you 'til the clover forgets its perfume

I'll love you 'til the poet runs 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
