Garth Brooks - Unanswered Prayers lyrics

Album: No Fences (1990)

Just the other night
At a hometown football game
My wife & I ran into
My old highschool flame
And as I introduced them
The past came back to me
And I could not 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 would only granted me
This wish I would wished back then
I would never ask for anything again

Sometimes I thank God
For unanswered prayers
Remember when you are talkin´
To the man upstairs
That just because He does not 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,
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 has doing after all

And as she walked away
Well I looked at my wife
And then & there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life

Sometimes I thank God
For unanswered prayers
Remember when you are talkin´
To the man upstairs
And just because He may not answer
Doesn´t mean He don´t care!
Some of Gods greatest gifts
are unanswered....
Some of Gods greatest gifts
are all too often unanswered...
Some of God´s greatest gifts are
Unanswered Prayers!
