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
