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
