Key To My Kingdom
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
At the end of my rainbow
I seek no golden prize
For the key to my kingdom
Is the glow in your eyes
Gain and power and riches
Are thrills i'll never miss
For the key to my kingdom
Is the thrill of your kiss
Baby, i have more
Than fame and fortune
Every time i hold your hand
And my darling
When our lips meet
All the world's at my command
Yeah, if you ever
Ever should leave me
My world would tumble down
Because you're the key to my kingdom
And your love is my crown
Oh i have more than fame and fortune
Every time i hold your hand
And my darling
When our lips meet
All the world's at my command
Yes, yes, if you ever
Ever should leave me
All of my world would tumble down
For you're the key to my kingdom
And your love is my crown
Yeah, you're the key to my kingdom
And your love is my crown
Yeah, you're the key to my kingdom
And your love, your love is my crown
