Afro Blue

Dream of a land my soul is from

I hear my hand beat on a drum

Shades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night, Afro Blue

Elegant boy, beautiful girl

Dancing for joy, delicate swirl

Shades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night, Afro Blue

Two young lovers are face to face

With undulating grace

They gently dance then slip away

To some secluded place

Shades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night, Afro Blue

Lovers in flight, upwards they glide

Burst at the height, gently subside

Shades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night, Afro Blue

Whispering trees echo their sigh

Passionate plea, tender replies

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
