He Didn't Have to Be |
| 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 |
