Lyrics 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 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 l 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 oh 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
Because he didn't have to be
You know he didn't have to be
