Afro Blue 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, beautiful girl

Dancing for joy, delicate whirl

Shades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night, Afro blue

Dream, go ahead and dream of a land

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

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

Dream of a land, dream!
