Afro Blue - Dee Dee Bridgewater

Dream of a land my soul is from

I hear a hand stroke on a drum

Elegant boy, beautiful girl

Dancing for joy elegant whirlShades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night Afro blueTwo young lovers dance face to face

With undulating grace

They gently sway, then slip away

To some secluded placeShades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night Afro blueWhispering trees, echo their sighs

Passionate pleas, tender replies

Lovers in flight upward they glide

Burst at the height slowly subsideShades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night Afro blueAnd my slumbering fantasy assumes reality

Until it seems it’s not a dream for two for you and meShades of delight,

cocoa hue

Rich as the night Afro blue

Oh, shades of delight, cocoa hue

Rich as the night Afro blueShades of delight Afro, Afro blue
