Lyrics

Dream of a land my soul is from I hear a hand stroke on a drum 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 for two for 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 Shades of delight Afro, Afro blue
