He Didn't Have To Be

Drew's Famous · Other Songs - Drew's Famous

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

It always winds up feeling more like a job interview

My mama used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone

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



I met the man I call my dad when I was five years old

He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go

A few months later I remember lying there in bed

I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes



And then all of a sudden

Ah it seemed so strange to me

How we went from something's missing

To a family

Lookin' back all I can say

About all the things he did for me

Is I hope I'm at least half the dad

That he didn't have to be



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

We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more

Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends

Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in



And then all of a sudden

Ah it seemed so strange to me

How we went from something's missing

To a family

Lookin' through the glass I think about the man

That's standing next to me

And I hope I'm at least half the dad

That he didn't have to be



I hope I'm at least half the dad

That he didn't have to be

'Cause he didn't have to be

He Didn't Have To Be
