| My Love a Cherry» (a/k/a «The Riddle Song») |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Until the Twelfth of Never and that’s a long, long time |
