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'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
SOMETIMES
I THANK GOD
FOR UNANSWERED
PRAYERS
REMEMBER WHEN
YOU'RE TALKIN'
TO THE MAN UPSTAIRS
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'D 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 DOIN'
AFTER ALL
AND AS SHE
WALKED AWAY
I LOOKED AT MY WIFE
AND THEN AND THERE
I THANKED
THE GOOD LORD
FOR THE GIFTS
IN MY LIFE
SOMETIMES I THANK GOD
FOR UNANSWERED
PRAYERS
REMEMBER WHEN
YOU'RE 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
SOME OF GOD'S
GREATEST GIFTS
ARE ALL TOO OFTEN
UNANSWERED
SOME OF GOD'S
GREATEST GIFTS
ARE UNANSWERED
PRAYERS
