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
