Dolly Parton - 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

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
