Garth Brooks – Unanswered prayers
Garth Brooks – Unanswered prayers
Just the other night at a hometown football gameMy wife and 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 meIn 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 thanked 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
Some of God’s greatest gifts are all too often unansweredSome of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
