The Twelfth of Never Songtext
von Dolly Parton

You ask me 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

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, hold me close
Melt my heart like April snow

You ask me how much I need you (you ask how much I need you)
Must I explain? (Must I explain?)
I need you, oh, my darling (I need you)
Like the roses need rain (like the roses need the rain)
You ask how long I′ll love you
I'll tell you true
Until the twelfth of never (until the twelfth of never)
I′ll still be loving you (I'll still be loving 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, long time
(And that's a long, long time)

(You give me chills, darling)
