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 please
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
