Ok my beloved followers, every summer, I try to make it a point to learn something new and this past weekend, my sister showed me this short film by Disney Pixar titled "Lava." Which I fell instantly in love with and said this is my husband and my love story LOL...OK I was thinking of video taping myself so you can see how well I learned it, but I'm still debating, so leave me a comment if you want to see that happen? Otherwise here are the chords, lyrics and just so you can fall madly in love with it like I did, I also attached a version of the video for you to watch.  Ok, enough talking, let's get Ukuleling!!!!

Intro: C G7 F C G7 C

Verse:

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                                             F

And from his lava came, this song of hope that he sang out-loud every day,

C                     G7

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

Verse:

C                                                   G7

Here is to singing all alone and  turning his lava into stone

F                              C                      G7

until he was on the brink of exiting sun.

C                                           G7

But little did he know that living in the sea below

F                                 C                    G7

another volcano was listening to his song.

Verse:

C                                 G7

Every day she heard his tune, her lava grew and grew

F                        C                  G7

because she believed his song was 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:

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 alone,

    F                             G7            C

but with no lava his song was so gone.

Verse: 

C                                                     G7

He filled the sea with his tears watching 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:

 C                                           G7

Oh they were so happy to finally meet above the sea

    F                              G7                       C

All together now their lava grew and grew.

C                                                          G7

No longer were they all alone with Aloha as their new home

    F                                                  C                     G7

and when you go and visit them, this is what they sing

Chorus:

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, and sky we thank too

     F       G7         C

     I      Lava     You       repeat 3X

I missed him before I met him

Hello beloved! Sorry I haven't been writing for awhile, so much has been happening that I haven't had the energy! I was feeling inspired though and thought I would come on and share.

As I was doing my wifely duties today; you know, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, dishes, ironing my husbands work clothes, etc. I was listening to my playlist on my phone.  I always like to download songs that describes something that relates to my life or my marriage and I like to think that I am compiling a song list to the soundtrack of my life.  At any rate, I was listening to my lifes soundtrack and I started thinking about my life and my husband as songs often make us do and it was a song by Christina Perri titled A 1,000 years and also another song by my favorite band The Civil Wars called To Whom it May Concern, that really got me thinking.  These songs are about loving someone before even knowing who they were and that's EXACTLY how it was with my husband.

I was thinking back...waaaayyyy back from when I was a little girl.  I never could sleep very well, I was always afraid of the dark and never felt safe, so I would put pillows next to me in order for me to feel secure enough to sleep.  I wouldn't use just one pillow and cuddle with it either..NO, I would use like 10 and make a small mountain, then I would either cuddle or put my feet up over them and then I would fall asleep.  After I got married, now that I think of it, I don't use pillows anymore, because when I turn to my side, I see that same exact mountain and feel secure..LOL  But to be honest, I always felt so insecure at night, but since I got married, from that first moment that I laid down in my marital bed and my husband put his arms around me to cuddle, all my fears and insecurities melted away and I felt safe and secure enough to sleep.

It was like before I was married, I was only living half a life, like a HUGE part of me was missing and I knew in my heart that it was Marko and that he was out there somewhere looking for me too.  As cheesy as it sounds, I am a big movie buff and when I was younger, one of my favorite movies was An American Tail, where they sang this song that still gets to me until this day titled Somehwere out there. Okay that's not the cheesy part, the cheesy part is that I use to sit at my bedroom windowsill and sing that song as I looked up at the great big moon in the sky and I would wonder if he was looking at that same moon and somehow we were connected?  Yeah I know, cheesy right?  Nah, I'm just a hopeless romantic like that!  Anyway, as you probably read in my first blogs where I spilled about our whole love story, I would literally see him in my dreams, but never his face because I didn't meet him yet. Truthfully, I think God did it that way, because half the fun of the journey was trying to find him and if I already knew who he was, then what was the point of that adventure?

All in all, the point of my crazy ranting is that I missed my husband before I even knew him.  It was like in my dreams I could see the magnificent romance of it, but when I woke up, he was gone.  I think that is why I slept so much when I was younger because when I was awake it felt like an eternity before I would see him again in my dreams.  Then when I got married, I stopped sleeping so much, because finally my waking reality was my dream come true.....until next time beloved <3
