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
