Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album sleeping with the past<br><br>Well she swept through the church<br>Like a sweet sunday prayer<br>While the choir sang son of heaven<br>And the groom just walked on air<br><br>I was killing time with jesus<br>When the wedding bells began<br>And I saw the most beautiful woman<br>Getting married to a handsome man<br><br>And she walked like a mystery<br>And she passed like summer rain<br>And she said I do like an angel<br>But I never knew her name<br><br>Oh the congregation gathered<br>But in darkness I remained<br>In love with the bride of a handsome man<br>But I never knew her name<br><br>In the shadow of the holy<br>Oh I heard my tell-tale heart<br>Whisper words that never reached her<br>As her vows were made at last<br><br>Oh the preacher with his blessing<br>Pronounced them man and wife<br>And I saw the most beautiful woman<br>Make a promise to be kept for life
