G                  Em 
You ask how much I need you 
     C   G 
Must I explain 
  Am             G 
I need you oh my darling 
     Em         D      
Like roses need rain 
    Am                G          
You ask how long I'll love you 
     Em       D  
I'll tell you true 
  Em              G              C       D      G 
Until the twelfth of never I'll still be loving you 
D       G  
Hold me close 
D            G 
Never let me go 
B7      Em 
Hold me close 
Am                 D7   
Melt my heart like April snow 
I'll love you 'till the blue bells forget to bloom 
I'll love you 'till the clover has lost its perfume 
I'll love you 'till the poets run out of rhyme 
Oh, until the twelfth of never 
And that's a long long time 
Until the twelfth of never 
And that's a long long time
