Just the other night a hometown football game Just the other night a hometown football game Em uma noite dessas, em um jogo de futebol local My wife and I ran into my old high school flame My wife and I ran into my old high school flame Minha esposa e eu trombamos ocm minha paixão antiga do colegial And as I introduced them the past came back to me And as I introduced them the past came back to me Conforme eu as apresentava, o passado veio à minha mente And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be E não pude deixar de lembrar de como as coisas eram antes She was the one that I'd wanted for all times She was the one that I'd wanted for all times Ela era a única que eu queria pra toda vida And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine E cada noite que eu rezava pedindo a Deus que ele me desse essa mulher And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then E se ele apenas me concedesse esse desejo que eu desejava naquela época I'd never ask for anything again I'd never ask for anything again Eu nunca mais iria pedir por nada CHORUS: CHORUS: Refrão Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers Às vezes eu agradeço a Deus pelas preces não atendidas Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs Lembre-se quando estiver conversando com o homem lá de cima That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care Só porque ele não lhe atende não significa que ele não se importe Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers Alguns dos maiores presentes de Deus são as preces não atendidas She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams Ela não era bem aquele anjo que eu lembrava nos meus sonhos And I could tell that time had changed me And I could tell that time had changed me E notoriamente o tempo havia me mudado Inn her eyes too it seemed Inn her eyes too it seemed E ao que me parece também aos olhos dela We tried to talk about the old days We tried to talk about the old days Tentamos lembrar dos velhos tempos There wasn't much we could recall There wasn't much we could recall Mas não havia muito o que lembrar I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all Apesar de tudo imagino que Deus sabe o que está fazendo And as she walked away and I looked at my wife And as she walked away and I looked at my wife E conforme ela se afastava eu olhei para a minha esposa And then and there I thankedd the good Lord And then and there I thankedd the good Lord E então lá mesmo agradeci ao bom Deus For the gifts in my life For the gifts in my life Pelos presentes na minha vida CHORUS CHORUS Refrão Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered... Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered... Algumas das maiores dádivas de Deus são, geralmente, sem resposta... Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers Alguns dos maiores presentes de Deus são as preces não atendidas
