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 airlines desk
And I said, sir, I wonder
Why 1203 is so late

He said, aww, they probably
Took off late or they may
Have run into some turbulent weather
And had to alter their course

I went back outside
And I waited at the gate
And I watched the beacon light
From the control tower as it
Whipped through the dark ebony skies
As if it were searching for
([Sung]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

[Sung]
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 recognize

She'll smile at me
And I know she will be
My beautiful ebony eyes
