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!
