Just the other night
At a hometown football game
My wife and 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
In 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
Well I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked 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...
'Cause some of God's greatest gifts...
Are unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts...
Are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts...
Are unanswered prayers
