An African Love Song Songtext
von John Edmond

This is an African love song,
I′m singing for someone that I really care for.
And in this African Love song,
You may see yourself and your lover and therefore
I'm gonna tell you how we re-discovered
A true love that never has died
And how we re-discovered Africa
And the feeling we were feeling inside.
We walked upon the sand on a beach they called The Strand
At a Cape where the two oceans meet.
We sipped red wines from her cellars and vines
And we roamed across her valleys of wheat.
We climbed up the mountains and even found snow,
And solitude in her Karoo;
In a church in Kimberley, an old dominee
Read the vows that he made us renew.
This is an African love song,
I′m singing for someone that I really care for.
And in this African Love song,
You may see yourself and your lover and therefore


I'm gonna tell you how we re-discovered
A true love that never has died,
And how we re-discovered Africa
And the feeling we were feeling inside.
In a funny old car, we went up to Malawi
And flew across her blue lake of stars.
At cape Maclear we swam, sailed a catamaran,
Tasted Chambo and chips in her bars.
On the Zomba plateau watched a river below
"Twas the Shire that goes to the sea
In the warm heart of Africa with someone you love
Is the best place on earth you could be.
This is an African love song,
I'm singing for someone that I really care for.
And in this African Love song,
You may see yourself and your lover and therefore
I′m gonna tell you how we re-discovered
A true love that never has died
And how we re-discovered Africa
And the feeling we were feeling inside.
Took a lovers′ safari over Great Zimbabwe
And sat beside a lake of our dreams.
We were kissed by the Nyanga mist
As we fished for rainbows up in her streams.
Saw an ellie or two down at Ghona-re-zhou
And bridges that are poems in steel,
So take your lover and go to where the flame lilies grows
And tell her the way that you feel.
This is an African love song,
I'm singing for someone that I really care for.
And in this African Love song,
You may see yourself and your lover and therefore
I′m gonna tell you how we re-discovered
A true love that never has died
And how we re-discovered Africa,
And the feeling we were feeling inside.
This is an African love song,
I'm singing for someone that I really care for.
And in this African Love song,
You may see yourself and your lover and therefore
I′m gonna tell you how we re-discovered
A true love that never has died
And how we re-discovered Africa
And the feeling we were feeling inside.
