Lyrics

You ask how much 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

Love my heart like April snow

I'll love you 'til the bluebells

Forget to bloom

And baby, I'll love you 'til the roses

Have lost their perfume

I'll love you 'til the poets

Run out of rhyme

Until the twelfth of never

And that's a long, long time

Written by: Jay Livingston, Jerry Livingston, Paul Francis Webster
