Unanswered Prayer

[Akadeanna Hawk]

By: Garth Brooks

Just The Other Night
At A Hometown Football Game
My Wife And I Ran Into
My Old High School Flame
As I Introduced Them
The Past Came Back To Me
And I Couldn’t Help
But Think Of The Way Things Used To Be
Cause She Was The One
I Wanted For All Times,
And Each Night I Spent Praying
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 Talking
To The Man Upstairs
Just Because He May Not Answer
Doesn’t Mean He Doesn’t Care
Some Of God’s Greatest Gifts
Are Unanswered Prayers

She Wasn’t Quite The Angel
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 Doing
After All!
And As She Walked Away
I Looked At My Wife
And Then And There
I Thanked God
For The Gifts In My Life!

Sometimes I Thank God
For Unanswered Prayers
Remember When You’re Talking
To The Man Upstairs
Just Because He May Not Answer
Doesn’t Mean He Doesn’t Care
Some Of God’s Greatest Gifts Are
Some Of Gods Greatest Gifts
Unanswered Prayers
