Ebony Eyes
On the weekend pass I wouldn't have had timeTo get home and marry that baby of mineSo I want to be explain and he authorized me to send for my ebony eyesMy ebony eyes was coming to me from out of the skies on Flight 1203In a hour or two would I whisper I do to my beautiful ebony eyesThe plane was way overdue so I went inside that airlines deskAnd said sir I wonder why 1203 is so late he said oh they probably took off lateOr they may have run into some turbinate weather and had altered the courseSo I went back outside and I waited at the gateAnd I watched the beacon light from the control towerAs it flipped through the dark of ebony skies as if it were searching for(The ebony eyes)And then come the announcement over the loudspeakerWith those having relatives of friends on Flight No 1203Please report to the chapel across the street at onceThen I felt a burning break deep inside and I knew the heavenly ebony skiesHad taken my life's most wonderful price my beautiful ebony eyesIf I ever get to heaven I'll bet the first angel I'll recognizeShe'll smile at me and I know she will be my beautiful ebony eyes
