Intro:
C G7 F C G7

Verse 1:
C                    G7
A long long time ago there was a volcano 
F                       C             G7
living all alone in the middle of the sea.
C                    G7
He sat high above his bay watching all the couples play, 
F                C              G7
and wishing that he had someone too.
C                           G7
And from his lava came this song of hope that he sang
F                  C             G7
out loud every day for years and years.

Chorus:
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, the sky up above
F            G7         C       
will send me someone to la-va.

Instrumental:
F  G  C

Verse 2:
C                          G7
Years of singing all alone turned his lava into stone
F                   C              G7
until he was on the brink of extinction.
C                           G7
But little did he know that living in the sea below
F                   C                G7
another volcano was listening to his song
C                            G7
Every day she heard his tune her lava grew and grew
F                        C                  G7
because she believed his song was meant for her.
C                       G7
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. 

Chorus:
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, the sky up above
F            G7         C
will send me someone to la-va.

Verse 3:
C                         G7
Rising from the sea below stood a lovely volcano 
F                      C                 G7
looking all around but she could not see him.
C                                     G7
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                                    G7
He filled the sea with his tears and watched his dreams disappear 
F                          C             G7
as she remembered what his song meant to her.

Chorus:
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, the sky up above
F            G7         C
will send me someone to la-va

Verse 4:
C                        G7
Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea
F                      C             G7
all together now their lava grew and grew.
C                                 G7
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. 

Chorus 2:
F                C
I have a dream I hope will come true 
G7                               C
that you'll grow old with me and I'll grow old with you. 
F                            C
We thank the earth, sea, the sky we thank too
F G7   C
I lava you
F G7   C
I lava you
F G7   C
I lava you
