[00:00.00]	(Oooooooooo)
[00:00.12]	On a weekend pass I wouldn't have had time
[00:13.98]	To get home and marry, that baby of mine
[00:21.72]	So I went to the Chaplain and he authorized
[00:26.64]	Me to send for my Ebony Eyes
[00:30.54]	My Ebony Eyes was coming to me
[00:43.20]	From out of the skies on Flight 1203
[00:52.29]	In an hour or two, I would whisper “I do”
[00:59.43]	To my beautiful Ebony Eyes
[01:09.33]	Spoken:
[01:09.51]	The plane was way overdue,
[01:12.39]	So I went inside to the airline's desk and I said:
[01:16.11]	“Sir, I wonder why 1203 is so late”
[01:20.49]	He said: “Oh they probably took off late,
[01:23.70]	or they may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter the course”
[01:29.22]	I went back outside and waited at the gate
[01:31.74]	and I watched the beacon light from the control tower
[01:34.41]	as it whipped through the dark ebony skies if it were searching for –
[01:39.06]	My Ebony Eyes
[01:48.09]	And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker,
[01:52.47]	“Would those having relatives or friends on Flight number 1203
[01:57.48]	please report to the chapel across the street at once”
[02:00.93]	Then I felt a burning break deep inside
[02:08.07]	And I knew the heavenly ebony skies
[02:15.45]	Had taken my life's most wonderful prize
[02:22.35]	My beautiful Ebony Eyes
[02:29.40]	If I ever get, to heaven I'll bet
[02:34.95]	The first angel I'll recognise
[02:43.74]	She'll smile at me and I know she will be
[02:50.76]	My beautiful Ebony Eyes
[03:07.71]	(Ooooo).

[00:00.00]	Oooooooooo
