C                      G                    
A long, long time ago, there was a volcano  
F                       C             G7   
living all alone in the middle of the sea  
C                         G                              
He sat high above his bay watching all the couples play  
F                C               G7   
and wishing that he had someone, too  
C                      G                               
And from his lava came this song of hope that he sang  
    F              C             G7     
out loud every day for years and years  
   
F                C                    
I have a dream I hope will come true  
     G7                        C                  
that  you're here with me, and I'm here with you  
  F                                 C              
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up abov-a  
     G7                 C     
will send me someone to lava  
   
C                          G                           
Years of singing all alone turned his lava into stone  
F                   C          G7        
until he was on the brink of extinction  
C                           G                        
But little did he know that living in the sea below  
F                   C                G7     
another volcano was listening to his  song  
C                            G                       
Every day she heard his tune her lava grew and grew  
F                        C                  G7   
because she believed his song was meant for her  
C                       G                       
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea  
      F                     C            G7    
as he sang his song of hope for the last time  
   
F                C                    
I have a dream I hope will come true  
     G7                        C                  
that  you're here with me, and I'm here with you  
  F                                 C              
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up abov-a  
     G7                 C     
will send me someone to lava  
   
C                         G                       
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano  
F                      C                 G7   
looking all around but she could not see him  
C                                     G                        
He tried to sing to let her know that she was not there alone  
    F                C            G7    
but with no lava his song was all gone  
C                                    G                             
He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear  
   F                       C             G7   
As she remembered what his song meant to her  
   
F                C                    
I have a dream I hope will come true  
     G7                        C                  
that  you're here with me, and I'm here with you  
  F                                 C              
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up abov-a  
     G7                 C     
will send me someone to lava  
   
C                         G                           
Oh, they were so happy to finally meet above the sea  
F                      C             G7    
all together now, theirlava grew and grew  
   C                              G                        
No longer are they all alone with aloha as their new home  
F                        C                 G7     
and when you visit them, this is what they sing:  
   
F              C                      
I have a dream I hope will come true  
G7                            C                      C7   
that you'll grow old with me, and I'll grow old with you  
F                                C                  
We thank the earth, sea, and the sky we thank, too  
  G7   C     
I lava you,  
  G7   C     
I lava you,  
  G7   C     
I lava you.
