I Never Knew Her Name Lyrics - Sleeping With The Past - 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

Ooo ooo ooo aah 

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 

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 

(Ooo) 

I'm in love with the bride of a handsome man 

But I never knew her name 

(Ooo ooo ooo) 

I never knew her name 

(Ooo ooo ooo) 

I never knew her name 

(Ooo ooo ooo) 

I never knew her name 

(Ooo ooo ooo)
