Текст песни Unanswered Prayers, Garth Brooks

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
