gareth brooks unanswered prayers Lyrics Gareth Brooks lyrics

gareth brooks
No Fences
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 cameback to me
and i couldnt help to think of the way things use to be

She was the one that i wanted for all time
Each night i'd spend praying that god would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish i'd wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again

Sometimes I thank god
For unanswered prayers
Remember when your talkin
to the man upstairs
and just because he doesn't answer
doesn't mean he dont care
some of gods greatest gifts
are unanswered prayers


She wasnt 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 wasnt much we could recall
i guess the lord knows what he's doin 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 your talkin
To the man upstairs
and just because he may not answer doesnt mean he dont care
Some of gods greatest gifts
Are unanswered
some of gods greatest gifts are all to often unanswered
some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
