[00:13.89]When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
[00:20.37]And it always winds up being more like a job interview
[00:27.06]My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
[00:34.38]Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
[00:42.27]I met the man I call my Dad when I was five years old
[00:47.91]He took my Mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
[00:55.11]A few months later I remember lying there in bed
[01:01.35]I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes
[01:09.57]And then all of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
[01:14.16]How we went from somethings missing to a family
[01:22.11]Lookin' back all I can say about all the things he did for me
[01:28.32]Is I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be
[01:48.12]I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago
[01:54.15]We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more
[02:00.75]Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
[02:06.90]Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in
[02:12.66]And now all of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
[02:19.92]How we've gone from somethings missing to a family
[02:27.87]Lookin' through the glass I think about the man that's standin' next to me
[02:40.68]And I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be
[03:00.75]And lookin' back all I can say about all the things he did for me
[03:06.93]Is I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be
[03:18.93]Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be
[03:34.35]Because he didn't have to be, you know he didn't have to be
