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
Till we're gray, great-grandparents
Till 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

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh
I do, I do, I do
Oh-oh-oh
I do, I do, I do
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I do, I do, I do
