from the songs album Sleeping With The Past
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
