Unanswered Prayers

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...
