On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time To get home and marry that baby of mine So I want 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 a hour or two would I whisper I do to my beautiful ebony eyes The plane was way overdue so I went inside to airline desk And said "Sir I wonder why 1203 is so late?" he said "Oh, they probably took off late, or they may have ran into some turbulent weather and had altered their course." So I went back outside and I waited by the gate And I watched the beacon light from the control tower As it flipped through the dark of ebony skies as if it were searching for (My ebony eyes) And then come the announcement over the loudspeaker With those having relatives or friends on Flight No 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 recognize She'll smile at me and I know she will be my beautiful ebony eyes |
