	G	C
When a	single mom goes out on a date with	somebody new

	D	C	G
It	always winds up feeling more like a j	ob	interview

	C
My momma used to wonder if she'd	ever meet someone

	D	C	G
Who wouldn't	find out about me and then	turn around and	run

	G	C
I	met the man I call my dad when	I was 5 years old

	D	C	G
He too	k my mom out to a movie and for	once I got to	go

	C
A few months later I remember	lying there in bed

	D	C	G
I overhea	rd him pop the question and I p	rayed that she'd s	ay yes... And then

(1st Chorus)

	Am	D
	All of a sudden oh it	seemed so strange to me

	G	C
How we	went from somethings	missing to a family

	Am	D	Em
	Looking back all I can say	about all the things he did for	me

	G	C
Is	I hope I'm at least half the	dad that he didn't have to be

(Chords stay the same for next verse)

I met the girl who's now my wife about three years ago

We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more

Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends

Crowded round the nursery window as they bring the baby in... And now

(2nd Chorus) - (Chords Stay same - Words Change)

All of a sudden oh it seemed so strange to me

How we've gone from somethings missing to a family

Looking through the glass I think about the man who's standing next to me

And I hope I'm at least half the dad that he didn't have to be

	Am	G
	You know he didn't ha	ve to be
