Unanswered Prayers

Just the other night a hometown football game 

My wife nd I ran into my old high school flame 

And as I introduced them the past came back to me 

And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be 



She was the one that I'd wanted for all times 

And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine 

And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then 

I'd never ask for anything again 



Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers 

Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs 

That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care 

Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers 



She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams 

And I could tell that time had changed me 

Inn her eyes too it seemed 

We tried to talk about the old days 

There wasn't much we could recall 

I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all 



And as she walked away and I looked at my wife 

And then and there I thankedd the good Lord 

For the gifts in my life 



Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers 

Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs 

That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care 

Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers 



Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered... 

Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
