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
