Generate meaning
1
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
2
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
3
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
4
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
5
I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old
6
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
7
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
8
I overheard him pop the question and prayed that she'd say yes
9
And then all of a sudden
10
Oh, it seemed so strange to me
11
How we went from something's missing
12
To a family
13
Lookin' back all I can say
14
About all the things he did for me
15
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
16
That he didn't have to be
17
I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago
18
We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more
19
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
20
Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in
21
And now all of a sudden
22
It seemed so strange to me
23
How we've gone from something's missing
24
To a family
25
Lookin' through the glass I think about the man
26
That's standin' next to me
27
And I hope I'm at least half the dad
28
That he didn't have to be
29
Lookin' back all I can say
30
About all the things he did for me
31
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
32
That he didn't have to be
33
Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the dad
34
That he didn't have to be
35
Because he didn't have to be
36
You know he didn't have to be
