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 밒 do?
|
To my beautiful ebony eyes
|
|
SPOKEN
|
The plane was way overdue so I went inside to the airlines desk and I said 밪ir, I
|
wonder why 1203 is so late??He said 밃ww, 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?
|
밯ould 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
|
