Dickey Lee - Ebony Eyes lyrics

On the weekend pass I wouldn't have had time

To get home and marry that baby of mine

So I want to be explain and he authorised me to send for my ebony eyes

My ebony eyes was coming to me from out of the skies on Flight 1203

In a hour or two would I whisper I do to my beautiful ebony eyes

The plane was way overdue so I went inside that airlines desk

And said sir I wonder why 1203 is so late he said oh they probably took off late

Or they may have run into some turbinate weather and had altered the course

So I went back outside and I waited at the gate

And I watched the beacon light from the control tower

As it flipped through the dark of ebony skies as if it were searching for

(The ebony eyes)

And then come the announcement over the loudspeaker

With those having relatives of friends on Flight No 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 price 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
