Lyrics to Afro Blue

Dream of a land my soul is from I hear a hand stroke on a drum Oh shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue



Elegant boy Beautiful girl Dancing for joy Elegant whirl Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue



Two young lovers dance face to face With undulating grace They gently sway Then slip away To some secluded place Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue



Whispering trees Echo their sighs Passionate pleas Tender replies



Lovers in flight Upward they glide Burst at the height Slowly subside Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue



And my slumbering fantasy assumes reality Until it seems it's not a dream The two are you and me Shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue



Oh shades of delight Cocoa hue Rich as the night Afro blue
