《He Didn’t Have To Be》歌词

[00:00:14] When a single mom goes out

[00:00:16] On a date with somebody new

[00:00:20] It always winds up feeling more

[00:00:23] Like a job interview

[00:00:27] My momma used to wonder

[00:00:30] If she'd ever meet someone

[00:00:33] Who wouldn't find out about me

[00:00:36] And then turn around and run

[00:00:42] I met the man I call my dad

[00:00:45] When I was five years old

[00:00:48] He took my mom out to a movie

[00:00:51] And for once I got to go

[00:00:55] A few months later I remember lying there in bed

[00:01:01] I overheard him pop the question

[00:01:05] And prayed that she'd say yes

[00:01:08] And then all of a sudden

[00:01:10] Oh it seemed so strange to me

[00:01:14] How we went from something's missing

[00:01:17] To a family

[00:01:22] Lookin' back all I can say

[00:01:24] About all the things he did for me

[00:01:34] Is I hope I'm at least half the dad

[00:01:39] That he didn't have to be

[00:01:48] I met the girl that's now

[00:01:50] My wife about three years ago

[00:01:54] We had the perfect marriage

[00:01:57] But we wanted somethin' more

[00:02:01] Now here

[00:02:01] I stand surrounded by our family and friends

[00:02:07] Crowded 'round the nursery window

[00:02:10] As they bring the baby in

[00:02:13] And now all of a sudden

[00:02:17] It seemed so strange to me

[00:02:20] How we've gone from something's missing

[00:02:23] To a family

[00:02:28] Lookin' through the glass I think about the man

[00:02:32] That's standin' next to me

[00:02:40] And I hope I'm at least half the dad

[00:02:45] That he didn't have to be

[00:03:01] Lookin' back all I can say

[00:03:03] About all the things he did for me

[00:03:13] Is I hope I'm at least half the dad

[00:03:18] That he didn't have to be

[00:03:23] Yeah I hope I'm at least half the dad

[00:03:28] That he didn't have to be

[00:03:34] Because he didn't have to be

[00:03:41] You know he didn't have to be
