Cold and grey I’m trying to get through my day The weight that I have grown to bear Brings me down (It brings me down) Long and dreary Are the days, alone and weary The thought to face another one Leaves me undone (oh oho) So I’m longing to escape And I’m dreaming Of a night in Africa I’m dreaming Of a night in Africa I’m dreaming Of a night in Africa You would say Why don’t you put both feet on the ground Don’t lose your head inside the clouds It will only bring you down You would say Why don’t you appreciate what you’ve got Doesn’t matter whether you mind it or not Just swallow it down (oh oho) But I choose to close my eyes And start dreaming Of a night in Africa I’m dreaming Of a night in Africa I’m dreaming Of a night in Africa A night in Africa Night in Africa Tell me why I’ve never been To all the places that I’ve never seen There’s no reason for me to cry But I wonder why Why I’ve never tried Why I’ve never tried Though I know it’s just a daydream Though I know you don’t approve Life is a journey going upstream We are constantly on the move Anyway Anyway Anyway Oh Oh I know I can’t just run away But still I’m dreaming, still I’m dreaming Of a night in Africa I’m dreaming Of a night in Africa I’m dreaming Of a night in Africa I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming Of a night in Africa Of a night in Africa I’m dreaming Of a night in Africa Oh my, oh my, oh my Of a night in Africa Oh my, oh my, oh my Of a night in Africa Just one night Look into my eyes Starry starry eyes In my night in Africa My night in Africa My night in Africa My night In Africa My night in Africa I’m dreaming My night in Africa I’m dreaming I’m dreaming I’m dreaming
