Ebony Eyes Lyrics

	(Oooooooooo)
	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 “I do”
	To my beautiful Ebony Eyes
	Spoken:
	The plane was way overdue,
	So I went inside to the airline's desk and I said:
	“Sir, I wonder why 1203 is so late”
	He said: “Oh they probably took off late,
	or they may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter the course”
	I went back outside and waited at the gate
	and I watched the beacon light from the control tower
	as it whipped through the dark ebony skies if it were searching for –
	My Ebony Eyes
	And then came the announcement over the loudspeaker,
	“Would 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 recognise
	She'll smile at me and I know she will be
	My beautiful Ebony Eyes
	(Ooooo).
