Lyrics:

The adventures of

Verse 1

Submarine Man – navigator doin’ the best he can

Following God’s plan and leaving it all in His hands

Plumbing the ocean blue in a fortress metal tube

Might be a bachelor til’ the rapture unless his heart someone could capture…

 

Enter Scuba Girl – nothing between her and the sea

A different world she would soon open up for him to see

Both so at ease under the water, but in two very different ways

Until a letter from Lauren arrived one day

 

Chorus 1

You don’t see a match made in heaven every day

But when you know you know that it’s meant to be

You just say yes to love’s mystery

So let’s dive on in, I say rejoice with me

Let’s let this love shine out into the world

That’s how it goes for Submarine Man and Scuba Girl

 

Verse 2

Back on dry land – you  gotta be a little daring and risky

Motorcycles and a camper van

She was wondering when’s he gonna kiss me?

If you can picture it now - it’s so fun to tell it -

That first kiss happened - almost knocked each other out -  in their motorcycle helmets!

 

Chorus 2

You don’t see a match made in heaven everyday

But when you know you know it’s meant to be

If you ask our heroes about what it takes

They say keep a sense of humor, and never stop dating

Respect each other,  support each other’s dreams

This is what heroic love means

Keep your sense of adventure, travel the world

That’s the superpowers of  Submarine Man and Scuba Girl

 

Bridge

Way back when they said I do

They knew love can happen quick, but be enduring too

In faith and trust plunging into the ocean blue

Lifted up by family and friends  like you

The adventure continues…..

 

Chorus 3

You don’t see a match made in heaven every day

But when you know you know, and you make your way

You each take your strengths, like the verse of a song,

You put ‘em together soon everyone is singing along

Through the phases and stages composing a golden anniversary

One simple song has become a symphony

So let’s raise our glasses and give ‘em a swirl -

Let’s raise a toast for Submarine Man and Scuba Girl

That’s One Heroic Love!
