dct:abstract

%22The Twelfth of Never%22 is a popular song recorded by Johnny Mathis and later by other artists, including Cliff Richard and Donny Osmond. The song's title comes from the popular expression %22the 12th of Never%22, which is used as the date of a future occurrence that will never come to pass. In the case of the song, %22the 12th of Never%22 is given as the date on which the singer will stop loving his beloved, thus indicating that he will always love her. The song draws a similar link between the cessation of love and a number of other events expected never to happen.Mathis initially disliked the song, which was released as the flip side to his number-one hit single %22Chances Are%22.The song was written by Jerry Livingston and Paul Francis Webster, the tune (except for the bridge) being adapted from %22The Riddle Song%22 (also known as %22I Gave My Love a Cherry%22), an old English folk song. Mathis's original version reached number 9 on what is now called the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA in 1957. A version by Cliff Richard was released in 1964 and reached number 8 in the UK. Donny Osmond's version, produced by Mike Curb and Don Costa, was his second number 1 single in the UK, spending a single week at the top of the UK Singles Chart in March 1973. In the U.S. it peaked at number 8.
