Dream of a land my soul is from
I hear a hand stroke on a drum
Beautiful boy
Elegant girl
Dancing for joy
Beautiful 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
Shades of delight
Cocoa hue
Rich as a night
Afro blue
Whispering trees
Echo their sighs
Passionate pleas
Tender replies
Lovers on flight
Upward they glide
Burst at the height
Slowly subside
Shades of delight
Cocoa hue
Rich as a night
Afro blue
And my slumbering fantasy assumes reality
Until it seems it
The two are you and me
Shades of delight
Cocoa hue
Rich as the night
Afro blue
Shades of delight
Cocoa hue
Rich as the night
Afro blue
Shades of delight
Cocoa hue
Rich as a night
Afro blue
Shades of delight
Cocoa hue
Rich as the night
Afro blue
