[00:00.00](Oooooooooo)
[00:00.12]On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time
[00:14.10]To get home and marry, that baby of mine
[00:21.81]So I went to the Chaplain and he authorized
[00:26.76]Me to send for my Ebony Eyes
[00:30.66]My Ebony Eyes was coming to me
[00:43.32]From out of the skies on Flight 1203
[00:52.44]In an hour or two, I would whisper “I do”
[00:59.55]To my beautiful Ebony Eyes
[01:09.45]Spoken:
[01:09.63]The plane was way overdue,
[01:12.51]So I went inside to the airline's desk and I said:
[01:16.23]“Sir, I wonder why 1203 is so late”
[01:20.58]He said: “Oh they probably took off late,
[01:23.82]or they may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter the course”
[01:29.34]I went back outside and waited at the gate
[01:31.86]and I watched the beacon light from the control tower
[01:34.53]as it whipped through the dark ebony skies if it were searching for –
[01:39.15]My Ebony Eyes
[01:48.21]And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker,
[01:52.56]“Would those having relatives or friends on Flight number 1203
[01:57.60]please report to the chapel across the street at once”
[02:01.08]Then I felt a burning break deep inside
[02:08.19]And I knew the heavenly ebony skies
[02:15.57]Had taken my life's most wonderful prize
[02:22.44]My beautiful Ebony Eyes
[02:29.52]If I ever get, to heaven I'll bet
[02:37.02]The first angel I'll recognise
[02:43.86]She'll smile at me and I know she will be
[02:50.85]My beautiful Ebony Eyes
[03:04.35](Ooooo).
