Unanswered Prayers

Just the other night a hometown football gameMy wife nd I ran into my old high school flameAnd as I introduced them the past came back to meAnd I couldn`t help but think of the way things used to be.She was the one that I`d wanted for all timesAnd each night I`d spend prayin` that God would make her mineAnd if he`d only grant me this wish I wished back thenI`d never ask for anything again.Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayersRemember when you`re talkin` to the man upstairsThat just because he doesn`t answer doesn`t mean he don`t careSome of God`s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.She wasn`t quite the angel that I remembered in my dreamsAnd I could tell that time had changed meInn her eyes too it seemedWe tried to talk about the old daysThere wasn`t much we could recallI guess the Lord knows what he`s doin` after all.And as she walked away and I looked at my wifeAnd then and there I thankedd the good LordFor the gifts in my life. Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayersRemember when you`re talkin` to the man upstairsThat just because he may not answer doesn`t mean he don`t careSome 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
