Unanswered Prayers - (Tribute to Garth Brooks)

Unanswered Prayers (As Made Famous By Garth Brooks) - Country Heroes

Just the other night a hometown football game

My wife nd I ran into

My old high school 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'd wanted for all times

And each night I'd spend prayin'

That God would make her mine

And if he'd only grant me

This wish I 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

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

In 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 doin' after all

And as she walked away

And 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

Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered

Some of God's greatest gift

S are all too often unanswered

Some of God's greatest gifts

Are unanswered prayers
