"I Never Knew Her Name" -Elton John with Bernie Taupin
Well she swept through the church like a sweet summer 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
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
O, 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, well I heard my tell-tale heart
whisper words that never reached her as her vows were made at last
O, 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
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
O, the congregation gathered, but in darkness I remained
In love with the bride of a handsome man
but I never knew her name
