on a weekend pass i wouldn't have time to get home and marry that baby of mine
so i went to the chapel 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
you
in an hour or two i would whisper i do to my beautiful ebony eyes
the plane was way overdue so i went inside the airline's desk and i said
sir wonder why 1203 is so late he said oh they probably took off late
they may have run into some turbulent weather and had to order their course
i went back outside and waited at the gate and i watched the beacon light from the control tower
as it went through the dark ebony skies as if it was searching for
then came the announcement over the loudspeaker those having relatives or friends on flight 1203
please report to the chapel across the street at once
then i felt it burning pain deep inside i knew that my 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'll be
My beautiful ebony eyes
