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
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


And how far have we come
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 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
