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

[F]
I have a dream, I
[C]
hope will come true,
that
[G7]
you're here with me and
[C]
I’m here with you

I wish that the earth, sea, the
[C]
sky up above...
will

send me

Verse
[C]
Years of singing all alone,
[G7]
turned his lava into stone,
[F]
until... he was on the
[C]
brink of extinc-
[G7]
tion.
Normal tempo
[C]
But little did he know that
[G7]
living in the sea below
[F]
another... volcano was
[C]
listening to his
[G7]
song.
[C]
Every day she heard his tune,
[G7]
her lava grew and grew
[F]
because she believed his
[C]
song was meant for
[G7]
her.
[C]
Now she was so ready to
[G7]
meet... him above the sea
[F]
as he sang his song of
[C]
hope for the last
[G7]
time.

Verse
[C]
Rising from the sea below
[G7]
stood a lovely volcano
[F]
looking... all around, but
[C]
she could not see
[G7]
him.
[C]
He tried to sing to let her know that
[G7]
she was not there alone,
Slower
but
[F]
with no lava his
[C]
song was all
[G7]
gone.
[C]
He filled the sea with his tears
[G7]
and watched his dreams disappear
[F]
as she remembered what his
[C]
song meant to
[G7]
her.

Verse

oh they were so happy to
