Elton John Sleeping With The Past I Never Knew Her Name



Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album sleeping with the past

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


And 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
