I Never Knew Her Name lyrics
Song information
Artist: Elton John Album: Sleeping With The Past
Lyrics
Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin
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
