Ebony Eyes Lyrics - Everly Brothers

(Oooooooooo) 

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 airline's desk and I said: 

"Sir, I wonder why 1203 is so late" 

He said: "Oh they probably took off late, 

or they may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter the course" 

I went back outside and waited at the gate 

and I watched the beacon light from the control tower 

as it whipped through the dark ebony skies 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" 

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 recognise 

She'll smile at me and I know she will be 

My beautiful Ebony Eyes 

(Ooooo).
