He Didn't Have to Be - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]
When a single mom goes out[00:00:14]
On a date with somebody new[00:00:16]
It always winds up feeling more[00:00:20]
Like a job interview[00:00:23]
My momma used to wonder[00:00:27]
If she'd ever meet someone[00:00:30]
Who wouldn't find out about me[00:00:34]
And then turn around and run[00:00:36]
I met the man I call my dad[00:00:42]
When I was five years old[00:00:45]
He took my mom out to a movie[00:00:48]
And for once I got to go[00:00:51]
A few months later[00:00:55]
I remember lying there in bed[00:00:57]
I overheard him pop the question[00:01:01]
And prayed that she'd say yes[00:01:04]
And then all of a sudden[00:01:08]
Oh it seemed so strange to me[00:01:10]
How we went from something's missing[00:01:14]
To a family[00:01:17]
Lookin' back all I can say[00:01:22]
About all the things he did for me[00:01:25]
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:01:34]
That he didn't have to be[00:01:39]
I met the girl that's now[00:01:47]
My wife about three years ago[00:01:49]
We had the perfect marriage[00:01:54]
But we wanted somethin' more[00:01:57]
Now here[00:02:00]
I stand surrounded by our family and friends[00:02:01]
Crowded 'round the nursery window[00:02:06]
As they bring the baby in[00:02:10]
And now all of a sudden[00:02:13]
It seemed so strange to me[00:02:15]
How we've gone from something's missing[00:02:19]
To a family[00:02:23]
Lookin' through the glass[00:02:27]
I think about the man[00:02:29]
That's standin' next to me[00:02:32]
And I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:02:40]
That he didn't have to be[00:02:44]
Lookin' back all I can say[00:03:00]
About all the things he did for me[00:03:02]
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:03:13]
That he didn't have to be[00:03:17]
Because he didn't have to be[00:03:24]
You know he didn't have to be[00:03:30]
