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
