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 twelve O three

In An Hour Or Two
I Would Whisper I Do 
To My Beautiful Ebony Eyes 

"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"
(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 Recognize 
She'll Smile At Me
And I Know She Will Be 
My Beautiful Ebony Eyes
