Everly Brothers - Ebony Eyes Lyrics

On a weekend pass, I wouldn't have had time
To get home to marry that baby of mine,
So I went to tne 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 twelve -o - three
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
said "Sir, I wonder why 12:03 is so late."  He said "Oh, they probably
took off late or they may have ran 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 searching for (my ebony eyes).

Then came the announcement over the loudspeaker that "Those having
relatives or friends on flight number 12:03, please report to the chapel across
the street at once."

Then I felt a burning break deep inside
And I knew that 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.
