Afro-Blue - Oscar Brown, Jr.

Written by：M. Santamar

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
