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
|
