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
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
