When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new It always winds up feeling 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 lying there in bed I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes And then all of a sudden Ah 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 who'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 then all of a sudden Ah it seemed so strange to me How we went from something's missing To a family Lookin' through the glass I think about the man That's standing next to me And I hope I'm at least half the dad That he didn't have to be I hope I'm at least half the dad That he didn't have to be 'Cause he didn't have to be
