The Twelfth of Never Lyrics

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'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's April's snow

I love you
Till the Bluebells forget to bloom
I love you
Till the clover has lots its perfume
I love you
Till the poets run out of rhymes
Until the twelfth of never
And that's a long, long time

Until the twelfth of never
And that's a long, long time
See Barry Manilow Live

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
