Lyrics:

When A Single Mom Goes Out On A Date With Somebody New
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 The Movie, And For Once I Got To Go
a Few Months Later I Remember Lying There In Bed
i Over Heard 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 Somthings Missing To A Family
looking Back All I Can Say About All The Things He Did For Me
is That I Hope I'm At Least Half The Dad 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 Something More
now Here I Stand Surrounded By Our Family And Friends
crowded Around The Nursery Window As They Bring The Baby In

and Now All Of A Sudden, Oh It Seems So Strange To Me
how We'd Gone From Somthings Missing To A Family
looking Through The Glass
i Think About The Man That's Standing Next To Me
and I Hope I'm At Least Half The Dad That He Didn't Have To Be

and Looking Back All I Can Say About All The Things He Did For Me
is I Hope I'm At Least Half The Dad He Didn't Have To Be

yeah, I Hope I'm At Least Half The Dad He Didn't Have To Be

because He Didn't Have To Be

you Know He Didn't Have To Be
