Unanswered Prayers

Just the other night
At a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into
My old highschool 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 praying 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 talking 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 to 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 doing after all
And as she walked away
And 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 talking to the man upstairs
That just because He doesn't not answer Doesn't mean He don't care
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
