文本歌词

When a single mom goes out
On a date with somebody new
It always winds up feeling 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 a movie
And for once I got to go
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
I overheard him pop the question
And prayed that she'd say yes
And then all of a sudden
Oh it seemed so strange to me
How we went from something's missing
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
It seemed so strange to me
How we've gone from something's missing
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
