I Never Knew Her Name

Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Sleeping With The PastWell she swept through the churchLike a sweet Sunday prayerWhile the choir sang Son of HeavenAnd the groom just walked on airI was killing time with JesusWhen the wedding bells beganAnd I saw the most beautiful womanGetting married to a handsome manAnd she walked like a mysteryAnd she passed like summer rainAnd she said I do like an angelBut I never knew her nameOh the congregation gatheredBut in darkness I remainedIn love with the bride of a handsome manBut I never knew her nameIn the shadow of the holyOh I heard my tell-tale heartWhisper words that never reached herAs her vows were made at lastOh the preacher with his blessingPronounced them man and wifeAnd I saw the most beautiful womanMake a promise to be kept for life
