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
THAT 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
OH 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
AND 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 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
BECAUSE HE DIDN'T
HAVE TO BE
YOU KNOW HE DIDN'T
HAVE TO BE
