I Never Knew Her Name lyrics
by Elton John
[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!)
