When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new |
|
And it always winds up being more like a job interview |
|
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone |
|
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run |
|
I met the man I call my Dad when I was five years old |
|
He took my Mom out to a movie and for once I got to go |
|
A few months later I remember lying there in bed |
|
I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes |
|
And then all of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me |
|
How we went from somethings missing to a family |
|
Lookin' back all I can say about all the things he did for me |
|
Is I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be |
|
I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago |
|
We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more |
|
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends |
|
Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in |
|
And now all of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me |
|
How we've gone from somethings missing to a family |
|
Lookin' through the glass I think about the man that's standin' next to me |
|
And I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be |
|
And lookin' back all I can say about all the things he did for me |
|
Is I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be |
|
Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be |
|
Because he didn't have to be, you know he didn't have to be |
