You ask 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

I'll still be loving you

Hold me close

never let me g..o

Hold me close

and melt my heart

like April snow

I'll love you

till the bluebells

forge..t 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

Until the twelfth

of never

and that's a

long, long ti..me
