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
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 Explain Request ×
