Just

the

o-

ther

night,

at

a

home-

town

foot-

ball

game

My

wife

and

I

ran

in-

to

my

old

high

school

flame

And

as

I

in-

tro-

duced

them,

the

past

came

back

to

me

And

I

could-

n't

help

but

think

of

the

way

things

used

to

be

She

was

the

one

that

I'd

wan-

ted

for

all

times

And

each

night

I'd

spend

pra-

yin'

that

God

would

make

her

mine

And

if

he'd

on-

ly

grant

me

this

wish

I

wished

back

then

I'd

ne-

ver

ask

for

a-

ny-

thing

a-

gain

Some-

times

I

thank

God

for

un-

an-

swered

pray-

ers

Re-

mem-

ber

when

you're

tal-

kin'

to

the

man

up-

stairs

And

just

be-

cause

he

doe-

sn't

an-

swer

does-

n't

mean

he

don't

care

Some

of

God's

grea-

test

gifts

are

un-

an-

swered

pray-

ers

She

was-

n't

quite

the

an-

gel

that

I

re-

mem-

bered

in

my

dreams

And

I

could

tell

that

time

had

changed

me,

in

her

eyes

too

it

seemed

We

tried

to

talk

a-

bout

the

old

days,

there

was-

n't

much

we

could

re-

call

I

guess

the

Lord

knows

what

he's

do-

in',

af-

ter

all

And

as

she

walked

a-

way,

well, I

looked

at

my

wife

And

then

and

there

I

thanked

the

good

Lord,

for

the

gifts

in

my

life

Some-

times

I

thank

God

for

un-

an-

swered

pray-

ers

Re-

mem-

ber

when

you're

tal-

kin'

to

the

man

up-

stairs

And

just

be-

cause

he

may

not

an-

swer

does-

n't

mean

he

don't

care

Some

of

God's

grea-

test

gifts

are

un-

an-

swered...

Some

of

God's

grea-

test

gifts,

are

all

too

of-

ten

un-

an-

swered...

Some

of

God's

grea-

test

gifts,

are

un-

an-

swered

pray-
