Lyrics
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.
