From Pixar's short film "Lava". Updated March 10th 2021 with improved lyrics.
Verse:
Eb Bb7
a long long time ago, there was a volcano.
Ab Eb Bb7
Living all alone, in the middle of the sea.
Eb Bb7
He sat high above his bay, watching all the couples play,
Ab Eb Bb7
and wishing that, he had someone too.
Eb Bb7 Ab
And from his lava came this song of hope that he sang out-loud every day,
Eb Bb7
for years and years.
Chorus:
Ab Eb
I have a dream I hope will come true,
Bb7 Eb
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
Ab Eb
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
Ab Bb7 Eb
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
Eb Bb7
Years of singing all alone turned his lava into stone,
Ab Eb Bb7
until he was on the brink of extinction.
Eb Bb7
But little did he know that living in the sea below
Ab Eb Bb7
another volcano was listening to his song.
Eb Bb7
Every day she heard his tune. Her lava grew and grew
Ab Eb Bb7
because she believed his song was meant for her.
Eb Bb7
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea
Ab Eb Bb7
as he sang his song of hope for the last time.
Chorus:
Ab Eb
I have a dream I hope will come true,
Bb7 Eb
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
Ab Eb
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
Ab Bb7 Eb
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
Eb Bb7
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano
Ab Eb Bb7
looking all around but she could not see him.
Eb Bb7
He tried to sing to let her know that she was not there alone,
Ab Eb Bb7
but with no lava his song was all done.
Eb Bb7
He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear
Ab Eb Bb7
as she remembered what his song meant to her.
Chorus -Female-:
Ab Eb
I have a dream I hope will come true,
Bb7 Eb
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
Ab Eb
I wish that the earth, sea and the sky up above
Ab Bb7 Eb
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
Eb Bb7
Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea,
Ab Eb Bb7
all together now their lava grew and grew.
Eb Bb7
No longer are they alone with Aloha as their new home,
Ab Eb Bb7
and when you visit them, this is what they sing…
Chorus -Female + Male-:
Ab Eb
I have a dream I hope will come true.
Bb7
Male: That you'll grow old with me,
Eb
Female: and I'll grow old with you.
Ab Eb
We thank the earth, sea, and sky we thank too.
Outro:
Ab Bb7 Eb
I lava YOU!
Ab Bb7 Eb
I lava YOU!
Ab Bb7 Eb
I lava YOU!
