Dream of a land my soul is from   I hear a hand stroke on a drum      Elegant boy   Beautiful girl   Dancing for joy   Elegant whirl   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      Whispering trees   Echo their sighs   Passionate pleas   Tender replies      Lovers in flight   Upward they glide   Burst at the height   Slowly subside   Shades of delight   Cocoa hue   Rich as the 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 the night   Afro blue      Oh shades of delight   Cocoa hue   Rich as the night   Afro blue
