Twelfth Of Never Lyrics

You ask me how much I need you
Must I explain
I need you oh my darlin'
Like roses need the 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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e53098-dolly_parton~twelfth_of_never_lyrics.html ]
So 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
Has lost its perfume
I'll love you 'til the poets
Run out of rhyme
Until the twelfth of never
And that's a long, long time

So hold me close
Never let me go
Just hold me close
Melt my heart like April snow

You ask how much I need you
Must I explain
I need you oh my darlin'
Like the roses need the rain
You ask how long I'll love you
I'll tell you true
Until the twelfth of never
I'll still be lovin' you

So hold me close
And never let me go
Just hold me close
Melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you 'til the poets
Run out of rhyme
Until the twelfth of never
And that's a long, long time
