You so pervade my being
Like oxygen in air,
That wherever I ever am,
You also are.
From single I've grown
To two-in-one;
You're my expansion
And my delight,
And in my grief
You turn my tears
To drops of pearl;                                                                                                                    
What's lead in me
You change to gold --
You've made me rich beyond comparison,
And when I dispense
From my abundance,
I see your hand
In all my giving.
In a world from where monarchy has gone
You're my Queen
And I'm your King,
And there's nothing that we gaze upon
That isn't gilded
By our union.
It's thanks to you
I'm thus transformed
From an also-ran
To a miracle man.
