Verse i

I am a Sailor you're my first mate,

 We signed on together we coupled our fate,

 Hauled up our anchors determined not to fail,

 For the hearts treasure together we set sail.

Verse ii

With no maps to guide us we steered our own course,

 Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force,

Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope,

 Working together we learned how to cope.

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.

Verse iii

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.

Hmmmmmmmm hmmmmmm Hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmm,

Hmmm hm hmm hm hm hmmmmmmm hm

 hm hmm hmmm hmmmmmm hmmmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

hmmmm hm hm hm hm hmmmmmm hmmmmmm

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.
