Afro-Blue

Dream of a land my soul is from

I hear a hand stroke on a drum

Shades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night, afro-blue

Elegant boy, beautiful girl

Dancing for joy, delicate whirl

Shades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night, afro-blue

Two young lovers 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

Shades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night, afro-blue

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
