My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone
I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago
Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
Lookin' through the glass I think about the man that's standin' next to me
Is I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be
And I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be
We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more
Is I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be
I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes
Lookin' back all I can say about all the things he did for me
How we went from somethings missing to a family
Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the Dad that he didn't have to be
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
I met the man I call my Dad when I was five years old
And then all of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run
He took my Mom out to a movie and for once I got to go
And now all of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me
How we've gone from somethings missing to a family
And lookin' back all I can say about all the things he did for me
