INTRO
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,
Esus E A
A few months later I remember lying there in bed,
Esus E A
All of a sudden, oh it seemed so strange to me,
How we went from something's missing to a family.
Looking 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 something more.
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends,
Esus E A
All of a sudden, oh it seemed so strange to me,
How we've gone from something's missing to a family.
Looking 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.
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.
