Ribbon In The Sky
Linda Tate · Other Songs - Linda Tate
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

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.
