I Never Knew Her Name - Elton John

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

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

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

(Ooh-ah!)

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!)
