Afro Blue (Remastered 1959)

Afro Blue (Remastered 1959) - Abbey Lincoln

Dream of a land my soul is from

I hear a hand stroke on a drum

Shades of delight cocoa hue

Rich as the night afro blue

Elegant boy beautifil 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

Shades of delight cocoa hue

Rich as the night afro blue

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 for two for you and me

Shades of delight cocoa hue

Rich as the night afro blue
