Afro Blue Lyrics by Dee Dee Bridgewater

Afro Blue

0

[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Dream of a land my soul is from
I hear a hand beat on a drum
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro blue
[Verse 2]
Elegant boy, beautiful girl
Dancing for joy, elegant swirl
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro blue
[Verse 3]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Whispering trees, echo their sighs
Passionate pleas, tender replies
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro blue
[Verse 5]
Lovers in flight, upward they glide
Burst at the height, gently subside
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro blue
Afro blue
[Verse 6]
And my slumbering fantasy assumes reality
Until it seems it's not a dream for two, or you and me
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Rich as the night, afro blue
[Drum Solo]
[Scatting]
[Outro]
Shades of delight, cocoa hue
Afro blue
