When a single Mom
Goes out on

A date with
Somebody new

It always
Winds up feelin'

More like a
Job interview

My Mama 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

Lyin' there in bed

I overheard him
Pop the question

And I prayed that
She'd say yes

And then all of
A sudden, aw it

Seemed so strange
To me

How we went from
Somethin's missin'

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 yea rs 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, aw it

Seems so strange
To me

How we've gone
From somethin's

Missin' 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

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...
