[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).
