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
