Afro-Blue

Dream of a land my soul is from,

I hear a hand stroke on a drum,

Shades of delight;

Cocoa hue,

Rich as a night,

Afro blue.

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.

Shades of delight,

Cocoa hue,

Rich as a night,

Afro blue.

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,

Sloly subside,

Shades of delight,

Cocoa hue,

Rich as a night,

Afro blue.

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 a night,

Afro blue.

Shades of delight,

Cocoa hue,

Rich as a night,

Afro blue.

Shades of delight,

Cocoa hue,

Rich as a night,

Afro blue.
