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 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
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
4 BAR
BREAK
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
