Ebony Eyes Lyrics - Singles - Dickey Lee

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 authorized 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
