When a single mom
Goes out on a date with
Somebody new
It always winds up

Feelin' more like
A iob interview
My mo ma used to

Wonder if she'd

Ever meet someone
That would n'f
Find out about me

And then turn around

And run
I met the man

I call my dad

When I was

Five yea rs old
He took my mom
Out to a movie

And for once
I got to go
A few months later

I re member Iyin'

There in bed
I overheard him
Pop the question

And I prayed that
She'd say yes
And then
All of a sudden

Oh it seemed
So strange to me
How we went from

Somethin's missin'
To 0 f0 mily
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 did n'f

Have to be
I met the girl

Thafs now my wife
About three years ago
We had the perfect
Marriage but

We wanted
Somethin' more
And now here I stand

Surrounded by

Our f0 mily and friends
Crowded 'round
The nursery window

As they bring
The be by in
And now

All of a sudden

Oh it seems
So strange to me
How we've gone from

Somethin's missin'
To 0 f0 mily
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
(Instrumental Break)
Loo kin' back

All I can say aboui
All the things

He did for me
Is I hope I'm at least

Half the dad

That he did n'f

Have to be
Because he did n'f
Have to be

You know he did n'f
Have to be
