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 wanted for all times

And each night i spent praying

That god would make her mine

Tnd if he'd only granted me

This wish i'd 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!

'cause 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,

And 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 doing after all



And as she walked away

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 Prayers
