Afro-Blue

Dream of a land

My soul is from

I hear a hand

Stroke on a drum

Elegant boy

Beautiful girl

Dancing for joy

Delicate whirl

Shades of delight

Cocoa hue

Rich as a night

Afro-blue

Two young lovers are face to face

With undulating grace

They gently sway then slip away

To some secluded place

Whispering trees

Echo their sighs

Passionate pleas

Tender replies

Shades of delight

Cocoa hue

Rich as a night

Afro-blue

Lovers in flight

Upward they climb

Burst at the height

Slowly subside

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
