Ribbon In The Sky

Linda Tate · Other Songs - Linda Tate

Oh so long for this night I prayed

That a star would guide you my way

To share with me this special day

Where a ribbon in the sky for our love



If allowed may I touch your hand

And if pleased may I once again

So that you too will understand

There's a ribbon in the sky for our love



This is not a coincidence

And far more than a lucky chance

But what is that was always meant

Is our ribbon in the sky for our love, love



We can't lose with God on our side

We'll find strength in each tear we cry

From now on it will be you and I

And our ribbon in the sky

Ribbon in the sky

A ribbon in the sky for our love



There's a ribbon in the sky for our love

Ribbon In The Sky

Linda Tate's 'Ribbon In The Sky' stands as a defining recording of the early 1960s, showcasing her distinctive vocal style that blended pop sensibilities with jazz influences. The track exemplifies the era's shift toward sophisticated vocal arrangements, where the singer's emotive delivery took center stage over complex instrumentation. As a key part of Tate's discography, the song reflects her ability to navigate the boundaries between popular music and more experimental vocal jazz, a hallmark of her career alongside other notable works like 'I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart.' The recording captures the atmospheric depth characteristic of mid-century vocal performances, contributing to her legacy as a significant figure in English pop music history.
