Unanswered Prayers — текст песни (GARTH BROOKS)

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and 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

CHORUS:
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
Inn 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 thankedd the good Lord
For the gifts in my life

CHORUS

Some of God`s greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God`s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
