I am a sailor, you're my first mate We signed on together, we coupled our fate We hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail For the hearts treasure, together we set sail With no maps 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 Chorus: 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 round us, we have our own crew Together we're in this relationship We built it with care, to last the whole trip Our true destination's not marked on any charts We're navigating for the shores of the heart Chorus: Life is an ocean and love is a boat In troubled waters, it keeps us afloat When we started the voyage, there was just me and you Now gathered round us, we have our own crew
