Elton John — I Never Knew Her Name

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Instrumental bridge] (Ooh-ah!) [Chorus 2] 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 Like a mystery 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 Oh! I'm in love with the bride of a handsome man But I never knew her name (Ooh!) Never knew her name (Ooh!) Never knew her name (Ooh!) I never knew her name (Ooh!)
