[Intro — Female]
When the sun goes down
I can feel you near
[Male]
In the golden light
Your heartbeat calls me here
[Verse 1 — Female]
Your shadow moves across the fire
One look from you, I rise higher
The night is warm, the sky is wide
Come closer, let the rhythm decide
[Male]
I hear your laughter in the drum
I feel the moment, here it comes
Your hand in mine, the world falls away
Stay in my arms till the break of day
[Pre-Chorus — Female]
Hold me close, don’t let me go
[Male]
Feel that heat begin to grow
[Both]
Every heartbeat, every sound
Pulls us deeper, draws us ’round
[Chorus — Both]
Africa afterglow
Your love is burning slow
Move with me, don’t let the feeling go
Africa afterglow
Underneath the velvet sky
Your body dancing close to mine
Move with me, let the whole world know
We’re alive in the afterglow
[Post-Chorus — Female]
Eh-eh, stay with me
[Male]
Eh-eh, feel the beat
[Both]
Eh-eh, love me slow
Africa afterglow
[Verse 2 — Male]
Your eyes are shining like the flame
I lose my words, I say your name
The bass rolls deep, the stars burn bright
Your kiss keeps turning into light
[Female]
No need for promises tonight
Just your arms and the beat so right
The rhythm takes us, skin to soul
Two hearts moving as one whole
[Pre-Chorus — Both]
Hold me close, don’t let me go
Feel that heat begin to grow
Every heartbeat, every sound
Pulls us deeper, draws us ’round
[Chorus — Both]
Africa afterglow
Your love is burning slow
Move with me, don’t let the feeling go
Africa afterglow
Underneath the velvet sky
Your body dancing close to mine
Move with me, let the whole world know
We’re alive in the afterglow
[Dance Break — Call and Response]

[Female]
Can you hear it?
[Male]

Let the rhythm take control
Let it move us heart and soul
[Final Chorus — Both]
Africa afterglow

[Male]
Stay in the afterglow
When the sun goes down
