I am a sailor and you're my first mate

We signed on together, we coupled our fate

We hauled up our anchor determined not to fail

For the heart's treasure together we set sail 

Withnomaps to guide us we steered our own course

We rode out the storms when the winds were gale force

We sat out the doldrums in patience and hope

Working together we learned how to cope 



Life is an ocean, love is a boat

In troubled waters it keeps us afloat

When we started the voyage

there was just me and you

Now gathered around us we have our own crew 



Together we're in this relationship

We've built it with care to last the whole trip

Our true destination is not marked on any chart

We're navigating for the shores of the heart 



Life is an ocean, love is a boat

In troubled waters it keeps us afloat

When we started the voyage

there was just me and you

Now gathered around us we have our own crew 



Life is an ocean, love is a boat

In troubled waters it keeps us afloat

When we started the voyage

there was just me and you

Now gathered around us we have our own crew
