Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Elegant boy, beautiful girl
Dancing for joy, delicate whirl
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro-blue
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Whispering trees echo their sighs
Passionate pleas, tender replies
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro-blue
[Verse 4]
Lovers in flight, upward they glide
Burst at the height, slowly subside
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro-blue
[Chorus]
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
