Lyrics
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 your 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 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 to 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.
*chorus*
Some of God`s greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God`s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
