Sides face grand square
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
I couldn't help but think of
Do an allemande left and weave
Sometimes I thank God, for unanswered prayers
Swing your lady round and promenade her back home
Just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts, are unanswered prayers

Heads square thru 4 hands round and go
Find the corner lady and you do a dosado
Swing thru and now let the boys run right
Bend the line and do the right & left thru
Flutter wheel all along, slide thru and then
Swing the corner girl and promenade her again
Just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts, are unanswered prayers

Sides face grand square
She was the one, that I'd wanted for all times
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
Allemande left and weave
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
*Swing your lady round and promenade her back home
*(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

Sides face grand square
She wasn't quite the angel, I remembered in my dreams
I could tell that time had changed me, in her eyes too it seemed
Tried to talk about the old days there wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin'
Allemande left and weave
And as she walked away, I looked at my wife
*Swing your lady round and promenade her back home
*(Then and there I thanked the good Lord for the gifts in my life)
Just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts

Swing your baby
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
