Ebony Eyes Lyrics

Ebony Eyes lyrics

On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time

 To get home and marry that baby of mine

 So I went to the chaplain and he authorized

 Me to send for my ebony eyes

 

 My ebony eyes was coming to me

 From out of the skies on Flight 1203

 In an hour or two I would whisper "I do"

 To my beautiful ebony eyes

 

 SPOKEN

 The plane was way overdue so I went inside to the airlines desk and I said
"Sir, I

 wonder why 1203 is so late?" He said "Aww, they probably took off late or
they

 may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter their course."  I
went

 back outside and I waited at the gate and I watched the beacon light from
the

 control tower as it whipped through the dark ebony skies as if it were
searching for

 (my ebony eyes.)  And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker:

 "Would those having relatives or friends on flight number 1203 please report
to the

 chapel across the street at once."

 

 Then I felt a burning break deep inside

 And I knew the heavenly ebony skies

 Had taken my life's most wonderful prize

 My beautiful ebony eyes

 

 If I ever get to heaven I'll bet

 The first angel I'll recognize

 She'll smile at me and I know she will be

 My beautiful ebony eyes
