JUST THE OTHER NIGHT AT 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 WANTED FOR ALL TIME
AND EACH NIGHT I'D SPEND PRAYING THAT GOD WOULD MAKE HER MINE
AND IF HE'D ONLY GRANT ME THE WISH I'D WISHED BACK THEN
I'D NEVER ASK FOR ANYTHING AGAIN

SOMETIMES I THANK GOD FOR UNANSWERED PRAYERS
REMEMBER WHEN YOUR TALKING TO THE MAN UP THE STAIRS
THAT JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LISTEN DOESN'T MEAN HE DOESN'T CARE
SOME OF GODS GREATEST GIFTS ARE UNANSWERED PRAYERS

SHE WASN'T QUITE THE ANGEL I REMEMBER 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 GOOD LORD KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING AFTER ALL

AND AS SHE WALKED AWAY I LOOKED AT MY WIFE
AND THEN AND THERE I THANKED GOOD LORD FOR THE GIFTS IN MY LIFE

SOMETIMES I THANK GOD FOR UNANSWERED PRAYERS
