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've 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
Out comes relief
Out comes championing unlike any I've 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 trapse
From paper through diamonds
A family tree's genesis
Our fingers t'wining 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
