He Didn't Have To Be - Pickin' On Series[00:00:00]
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new[00:00:10]
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview[00:00:16]
My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone[00:00:22]
Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run[00:00:27]
I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old[00:00:34]
He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go[00:00:39]
A few months later I remember lying there in bed[00:00:45]
I overheard him pop the question and prayed that she'd say yes[00:00:50]
And then all of a sudden[00:00:55]
Oh it seemed so strange to me[00:00:57]
How we went from something's missing[00:01:00]
To a family[00:01:03]
Lookin' back all I can say[00:01:07]
About all the things he did for me[00:01:09]
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:01:17]
That he didn't have to be[00:01:21]
I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago[00:01:33]
We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more[00:01:38]
Now here I stand surrounded by my family and friends[00:01:44]
Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in[00:01:49]
And then all of a sudden[00:01:55]
It seemed so strange to me[00:01:58]
How we've gone from something's missing[00:02:01]
To a family[00:02:03]
Lookin' through the glass I think about the man[00:02:07]
That's standin' next to me[00:02:11]
And I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:02:18]
That he didn't have to be[00:02:21]
Lookin' back all I can say[00:02:45]
About all the things he did for me[00:02:47]
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:02:55]
That he didn't have to be[00:02:59]
Yes I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:03:03]
That he didn't have to be[00:03:07]
