Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, you are my african queen, oooh lord, oooh lord
Just like the sun, lights up the earth, you light up my life
The only one, I've ever seen with a smile so bright
And just yesterday, you came around my way
And changed my whole scenery with your astonishing beauty
Ah, you coulda make a brother sing,
You ordinary thing, a supernatural being,
I know you are just brighter than the moon
Brighter than the star, I love you just the way you are.
And you are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams.
You take me where I've never been
You make my heart go ting-a-ling-a-ling, oh ahh
You are my African Queen, the girl of my dreams
And you remind me of a thing
And that is the African beauty yahhh
Yahh oooo you are my african queen, oh lord, oo lord hmm
Out of a million you stand as one
The outstanding one
I look into your eyes, girl what I see is paradise,
Yeah you captivated my soul, now everyday I want you more o o oo
How can I deny this feeling I'm feeling inside
Ey oh no one can never take your place,
Can never take your space,
Thats a fact I cannot erase
And you, you are the one that makes me smile
Make me float like a boat upon the nile.
Oooo ooooo yaahhh yahhh oooo
You are my african queen and I know, oh yes I know hhn
You are my african queen and I know, see I know
See I know what I am feeling in my heart and in my soul
Oh I know that it is love
And I know that this love was surely sent from up above
Cause you're the only one I think of
You are my african queen
And I know that this means that you're the only one that I will serve
I'll give you my heart, my love, my body and my money
Every other thing you think of
Who could think of anything better than you
Who could think of ever hurting you
Sacrifice my all, I'll give it all to you
Cause you ar my african queen
For REAL
So black, so beautiful
I love you, I love you, I love you, munyemo, I love you, I love you, I love
You, munyemo, I love you, I love you, ooohhh yeah, my African Queen, I
Love you, I love you
Listened from start to finish. I love the melody. It easily sticks to the memory. The song could easily be one od those songs on the radio you know. It's very relatable. I can even remember the tune even if the song is finished and I'm already typing this comment. :)
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Oh man you've got it bad, and that's a good thing. The way you play and sing shows without any shadow of a doubt how you feel.
After 17 years together with my wife, 12 with kids and marriage, it only gets better. If you keep working at it and singing songs for her like this. :)

Nice song, maybe try flipping the phone to landscape next time. That way we can get a better view of the guitar and the chords you are playing. Keep it up :)
