Happy anniversary

Into a King

Alanis Morissette

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
