Ebony Eyes Lyrics

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 gateDickey Lee - Ebony Eyes - http://motolyrics.com/dickey-lee/ebony-eyes-lyrics.html
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
