Unanswered Prayers Lyrics

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
