Ribbon In Your Hair Lyrics - Tim O'brien

Strollin' on the strand one day 

Back in the fall of '49 

The sun was sinkin' in the west 

When somethin' caught my eye 

And through the dim and misty light 

I saw the ribbon in your hair 

As you turned around I found true love then and there 

We never even met that day 

Fate kept you and I apart 

And though I traveled far and wide 

Your vision filled my heart 

Through the dark and stormy nights 

Deep inside I always knew 

I'd find the path that would lead me back to you 

Now as I behold your bright eyes smilin' back at me 

It's as if by fate's decree that we have this love to share 

You only have to take my hand 

To take me back in time 

To the picture in my mind 

The way the twilight shined 

Upon the ribbon in your hair 

Now our home's a holy place 

Bathed in love's abiding light 

It warms my heart to hear you tell me 

How it feels so right 

And may all lovers be like us 

And never rest until they find 

The lasting love that can bring true piece of mind
