Twenty-two on the day that you met her
Queen of the sea, king of the river
Made a change to the man in the mirror
Took a vow that you'd be there forever
In 1955
The year you came into this life
Came flowing down the mountainside
And rolling with the rising tides
Sixteen when your father died
They say him and I, we look a lot alike
I know he's there looking down from the skies
One day I'll meet him on the other side
In 1955
The year you came into this life
Came rolling down the mountainside
And flowing with the rising tides
I don't know where I'd be without you
I don't know what I'd be without you
I don't know where I'd be without you
I don't know if I would be without you
In 1955
The year you came into this life
Came flowing down the mountainside
And rolling with the rising tides
I thank God for 1955
Oh, in 1955
It was in 1955
Oh, in 1955
Took a vow and you made it forever
Queen of the sea and the king of the river
