Ebony Eyes – The Everly Brothers lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
On a weekend pass I wouldn’t have had timeTo get home and marry, that baby of mineSo I went to the Chaplain and he authorizedMe to send for my Ebony EyesMy ebony eyes was coming to meFrom out of the skies on Flight 1203In an hour or two, I would whisper “I do”To my beautiful Ebony EyesThe plane was way overdueSo 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 lateOr they may have run into some turbulent weather and had to alter the course”I went back outside and waited at the gateAnd I watched the beacon light from the control towerAs it whipped through the dark ebony skies if it were searching forMy Ebony EyesAnd then came the announcement over the loudspeaker“Would those having relatives or friends on Flight number 1203Please report to the chapel across the street at once”Then I felt a burning break deep insideAnd I knew the heavenly ebony skiesHad taken my life’s most wonderful prizeMy beautiful Ebony EyesIf I ever get, to heaven I’ll betThe first angel I’ll recognizeShe’ll smile at me and I know she will beMy beautiful Ebony Eyes(Ooh)
