You're the queen by which i stand The fairest lady of the land Beside you my queen i'm on top of the world I'm a king when i'm beside you When you are far, i miss you my dear But the time is drawing near When you will be by my side at last I'm a king when i'm beside you When the darkness comes to haunt I remember what you have taught That you can choose to ignore All that brings you down to the floor By your wisdom i am inspired To cheer through these times so dire You give me the strength to conquer anything I'm a king when i'm beside you Let us feast on love's simple pleasures There's so much in our hearts to treasure A fortunate man you turn me into I'm a king when i'm beside you Let us drink and be merry For this life's too short to be dreary With you in my arms i have all a man can desire I'm a king when i'm beside you
