From Pixar's short film "Lava". Updated March 10th 2021 with improved lyrics.
Verse:
Ab Eb7
a long long time ago, there was a volcano.
Db Ab Eb7
Living all alone, in the middle of the sea.
Ab Eb7
He sat high above his bay, watching all the couples play,
Db Ab Eb7
and wishing that, he had someone too.
Ab Eb7 Db
And from his lava came this song of hope that he sang out-loud every day,
Ab Eb7
for years and years.
Chorus:
Db Ab
I have a dream I hope will come true,
Eb7 Ab
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
Db Ab
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
Db Eb7 Ab
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
Ab Eb7
Years of singing all alone turned his lava into stone,
Db Ab Eb7
until he was on the brink of extinction.
Ab Eb7
But little did he know that living in the sea below
Db Ab Eb7
another volcano was listening to his song.
Ab Eb7
Every day she heard his tune. Her lava grew and grew
Db Ab Eb7
because she believed his song was meant for her.
Ab Eb7
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea
Db Ab Eb7
as he sang his song of hope for the last time.
Chorus:
Db Ab
I have a dream I hope will come true,
Eb7 Ab
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
Db Ab
I wish that the earth, sea, the sky up above
Db Eb7 Ab
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
Ab Eb7
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano
Db Ab Eb7
looking all around but she could not see him.
Ab Eb7
He tried to sing to let her know that she was not there alone,
Db Ab Eb7
but with no lava his song was all done.
Ab Eb7
He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear
Db Ab Eb7
as she remembered what his song meant to her.
Chorus -Female-:
Db Ab
I have a dream I hope will come true,
Eb7 Ab
that you’re here with me and I’m here with you.
Db Ab
I wish that the earth, sea and the sky up above
Db Eb7 Ab
will send me someone to lava.
Verse:
Ab Eb7
Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea,
Db Ab Eb7
all together now their lava grew and grew.
Ab Eb7
No longer are they alone with Aloha as their new home,
Db Ab Eb7
and when you visit them, this is what they sing…
Chorus -Female + Male-:
Db Ab
I have a dream I hope will come true.
Eb7
Male: That you'll grow old with me,
Ab
Female: and I'll grow old with you.
Db Ab
We thank the earth, sea, and sky we thank too.
Outro:
Db Eb7 Ab
I lava YOU!
Db Eb7 Ab
I lava YOU!
Db Eb7 Ab
I lava YOU!
