Johnny Mathis - The Twelfth Of Never Lyrics






You ask 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.

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 till the clover has lost its perfume.
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

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 till the clover has lost its perfume.
I'll love you till the poets run out of rhyme,
Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

Until the twelfth of never and that's a long, long time.

    When my grandparents were young teenagers in love, my grandfather wrote my grandmother a love note and at the end he signed his name and included “until the twelfth of never” They then spent over 50 years together until he passed away last fall. My grandmother to this day still has that letter and she cries every time she hears this song on her radio and I can’t lie, it brings me to tears too.

  24. M.... a....

    My beautiful Nanna passed away a couple of weeks ago and her funeral was just the other day. My Grandad had this played as her final song and it breaks my heart completely. As soon as the tune started he complety broke down and it killed us all to see. I now listen to this whenever I need a really good cry.

  55. Y.... ....

    How many of us who grew up in the 50’s listened to and loved this song? How many of us believed we would find this kind if love in a marriage?
    I believed it and was I ever in for a rude awakening! I do know a few long time married couples who still adore each other like this would imply, but they are few and far between.

  56. K.... A....

    I'm headed down town for another Client until 12.00p.m how's my lovelysweet Papa, I'm here loving you so much kisses I love you.
    But please TAKE CARE of yourself. I know you love someone if you love someone or someone loving you be Careful
    I love you so much, I'm clean, I don't cling to anybody, I don't want to get sick, if we're together and always remember be Careful with somebody. I'm clean, I put myself in the a huge JAR that on one can OPEN except my future HUSBAND. Be CAREFUL papa
    PLEASE. I MISS YOU SO MUCH

  57. K.... A....

    I'd like Johnny Mathis VOICES this
    I love the lyrics, Melody. My heart appeared beating faster crying of
    joy, it's already been recognized and recorded in my mind and heart our " T.S."FOREVER. It is written in the SKY NO ONE CAN ERASE IT.
    I love you so much papa

  58. f.... w....

    EMOCIONANTE

  59. M.... J....

    Beautiful voice a special friend have me this record

  60. t.... b....

    In my younger days I was in love with a guy,Dodo, who made so many promises of his undying love. This song has it all, but time passed and he forget all about it. Where are you now?

  61. j.... V....

    My Ladybird forever! 🔥🔥🔥

  62. A.... L....

    how long has it been since i loved this song?Since the 12th of Never.

  63. j.... b....

    I have always thought that if I could imitate a voice, it would be Johnny Mathis. So strong and so smooth.

  64. P.... J....

    I absolutely love to listen to this man and his smooth velvet voice. I listen to all of his special songs every day.

  65. D.... D....

    Listened to Johnny Mathis in the 50’s met my wife 58 years ago told her to listen to the words of this song that’s how I felt great song some of his other songs are just as good

  66. A.... C....

    Grande cantor um dos maiores de todos os tempos.

  67. a.... d....

    Maravilhosa!!!amo Johnny Mathis

  68. m.... r....

  70. M.... B....

    I love both the original version, and what Donny Osmond did with it.

  71. D.... e....

    This was our wedding song I get very sad when I hear it as my husband has been gone over 12 years now he passed away just before our 35th wedding anniversary and I still miss him a lot

  72. j.... ....

    My sister was severely disabled with cerebral palsy, but it didn't affect anything other than her physical condition. She adored Johnny and this was her favorite song. After our mother died, we agreed that whichever of us died first, we'd send a message if it was okay on the other side. When my sister died, the message was definitely the color orange. I played this song and started crying, thinking of her and the next song started and there was photo of two orange roses on the screen. I looked up at my wall and there was an orange poppy photo and I turned to my left and there was a photo of my grandson with a huge, orange pumpkin. I know she was telling me she was waiting for me.

  73. D.... O....

    one of the loveliest love songs

  74. r.... m....

    the most beutifull song ever written for my wife

  75. M.... E....

    So Beautiful.

  76. A.... L....

    Great symbolism with a GREAT message.....Bravo Johnny

  77. L.... ....

    Since I were a young girl, my Mother love listening to Johnny Mathis, she says it reminds her of her best friend Novlan who was gay and they would listen to his music. That's way whenever he comes to our city, I make sure my Mother is at the Concert. Thank you Mother!

  78. C.... H....

    My Pastor just passed and he would sing this to his wife on his last days.. So very heartbreaking yet beautiful..Great song

  79. T.... F....

    my mum and dads song 50 years married RIP still remember

  80. a.... ....

    No one sings this song better

  81. M.... W....

    With songs such as this there will be re-makes , digital recordings , cover versions etc etc  But with songs such as this there will never ever be a recording & singer as pure as the original . This recording is as smooth as silk and is sung with total devotion . How can something this pure ever die. It will live until the 12th of never... Peggy Wood

  82. T.... H....

  94. G.... B....

    I'm 63. I've always been an old soul in my younger years. Yes I've always loved, hustled, swung, rocked, popped, snapped, slid, slopped, bumped, jerked, jived, jumped, clubbed, to all kinds of music, but my heart has always been partial to this type of music and the likes of Johnny Mathis, Nancy Wilson, and Michael Buble'. Yeah him too....til the 12th of never. God is so good.

  95. H.... R....

    4am, in the shower singing this,
    Then I decided to hear Johnny .
    Now I'm ashamed of myself.
    I destroyed a beautiful song.
