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 dance 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 on flight 
Upward they glide 
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 

Oh shades of delight 
Cocoa hue 
Rich as the night 
Afro blue
