Lyrics

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, beautifil 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 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 for two for you and me Shades of delight, cocoa hue Rich as the night afro blue
