Lyrics - I Never Knew Her Name by Elton John

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album sleeping with the past
Well she swept through the church
Like a sweet sunday prayer
While the choir sang son of heaven
And the groom just walked on air
I was killing time with jesus
When the wedding bells began
And
I saw the most beautiful woman
Getting married to a handsome man
And she walked like a mystery
And she passed like summer rain
And she said
I do like an angel
But
I never knew her name
Oh the congregation gathered
But in darkness
I remained
In love with the bride of a handsome man
But
I never knew her name
In the shadow of the holy
Oh
I heard my tell-tale heart
Whisper words that never reached her
As her vows were made at last
Oh the preacher with his blessing
Pronounced them man and wife
And
I saw the most beautiful woman
Make a promise to be kept for life
