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
