Unanswered Prayers - Garth Brooks
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
