Into a King

It started harmless enough

Animal infatuation

But something within it prevailed



You were a sweet amalgamation

Of all the parts I have loved

The hottest slippery slope



And out came depth

And out comes healing

Out comes friendship unlike any I have known



Happy Anniversary, baby

You've gone from a prince into a king

Happy Anniversary, darling

I've gone from a maiden to a queen



Continued and softened us up

Our rocks are hewn by this water of love

And steadfast: our pinky swear



And out comes fun

And out comes relief

Out comes championing unlike any I have known



Happy Anniversary, baby

You've gone from a prince into a king

Happy Anniversary, darling

I've gone from a maiden to a queen



How far have we come

And how far we've yet to go

'Til we're gray, great grandparents

'Til we're one tiny little wrinkle



I say I do, I do, I do



Happy Anniversary, baby

You've gone from a prince into a king

Happy Anniversary, darling

I've gone from a maiden to a queen



And so, we'll traipse from Paper through Diamonds

A family tree's genesis

Our fingers 'twining together



And out comes ever

And out comes alchemy

And out comes drooling on your chest



Happy Anniversary, baby

You've gone from a prince into a king

Happy Anniversary, darling

I've gone from a maiden to a queen



Ohh-oh-oh-ohh

Ohh-oh-ohh

Ohh-oh-oh-ohh, ohh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh



Ohh-oh-oh-ohh

I do, I do, I do

Ohh-oh-ohh

I do, I do, I do

Ohh-oh-oh-ohh, ohh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh

I do, I do, I do...
