THE 12TH OF NEVER- LYRICS

This is a beautiful song by Paul Francis Webster, lyrics, and Jerry Livingston music.
The reason I have it here is because it is superb poetry, and a beautiful love song.
It is a favorite of mine
and a very dear friend, no longer with us.
Johny Mathis has the ultimate recording. I Enjoy the poetry.
Paul Webster is shown in the picture. He wrote the words to many many great songs.

You ask how much I love 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 12th of never,
I'll still be loving you.

Hold me close, never let me go.
Hold me close, melt my heart like April snow.

I'll love you till the bluebells
forget to bloom.

I'll love you until the clover
has lost its perfume.

I'll love you until the poets
run out of rhymes.

Until the 12th of never and
that's a long long time.

Until the 12th of never and
that's a long long time.
