| When a single mom goes out on a date with | somebody new |
| D | C | G | |
| It al | ways winds up feeling more like a j | ob in | terview |
| C | |
| My momma used to wonder if she'd e | ver 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 five years old |
| D | C | G | |
| He took my | mom out to a movie and for | once I got to | go |
| C | |
| A few months later I remember l | ying there in bed |
| D | C | G | |
| I over h | eard him pop the question and I p | rayed that she'd say | yes And then, |
| (chorus) |
| Am | D | |
| All of a sudden Oh it s | eemed so strange to me |
| G | C | |
| How we w | ent from something's missing to a f | amily |
| Am | D | Em | |
| Looking back all I can say | about all the things he did for | me |
| Am | D | G | |
| Is I hope I'm at least half the | dad that he didn't have to | be. |
| G | C | |
| I met the girl who's now my wife about | three years ago |
| D | C | G | |
| We h | ad the perfect marriage, but we w | anted something m | ore |
| C | |
| Now here I stand surrounded by our f | amily and friends |
| D | C | G | |
| Crowded r | ound the nursery window as they b | ring the baby | in And now, |
| (chorus) |
| Am | D | |
| All of a sudden Oh it s | eemed so strange to me |
| G | C | |
| How we've g | one from something's missing to a f | amily |
| Am | D | |
| Looking through the glass I think a | bout the man |
| Em | |
| who's standing next to | me |
| Am | D | G | |
| And I hope I'm at least half the d | ad that he didn't have to | be! |
| Am | |
