He Didn't Have To Be - The Country Dance Kings (乡村舞王)[00:00:00]
When a single mom goes out[00:00:15]
On a date with somebody new[00:00:17]
It always winds up feeling more[00:00:21]
Like a job interview[00:00:24]
My momma used to wonder[00:00:28]
If she'd ever meet someone[00:00:31]
Who wouldn't find out about me[00:00:34]
And then turn around and run[00:00:38]
I met the man I call my dad[00:00:43]
When I was five years old[00:00:46]
He took my mom out to a movie[00:00:49]
And for once I got to go[00:00:52]
A few months later I remember lying there in bed[00:00:56]
I overheard him pop the question[00:01:02]
And prayed that she'd say yes[00:01:05]
And then all of a sudden[00:01:08]
Oh it seemed so strange to me[00:01:11]
How we went from something's missing[00:01:15]
To a family[00:01:18]
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[00:01:35]
That he didn't have to be[00:01:40]
I met the girl that's now[00:01:49]
My wife about three years ago[00:01:51]
We had the perfect marriage[00:01:55]
But we wanted somethin' more[00:01:57]
Now here[00:02:01]
I stand surrounded by our family and friends[00:02:02]
Crowded 'round the nursery window[00:02:07]
As they bring the baby in[00:02:11]
And now all of a sudden[00:02:14]
It seemed so strange to me[00:02:17]
How we've gone from something's missing[00:02:20]
To a family[00:02:24]
Lookin' through the glass I think about the man[00:02:28]
That's standin' next to me[00:02:32]
And I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:02:41]
That he didn't have to be[00:02:45]
Lookin' back all I can say[00:03:01]
About all the things he did for me[00:03:04]
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad[00:03:14]
That he didn't have to be[00:03:18]
That he didn't have to be[00:03:25]
You know he didn't have to be[00:03:31]
