It's a Brad Paisley song: "He Didn't Have to Be"
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
It always winds up feeling more like a job interview
My momma 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 prayed that she'd say yes
And then all of a sudden
Oh, 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 that'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 now all of a sudden
It seemed so strange to me
How we've gone from something's missing
To a family
Lookin' through the glass I think about the man
That's standin' next to me
And I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be
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
Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the dad
That he didn't have to be
Because he didn't have to be
You know he didn't have to be

Brad Paisley Song Lyrics
He Didn't Have To Be
When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new
It always winds up being more like a job interview
My momma just 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 the movie, and for once I got to go
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
I over heard him pop the question
And I prayed that she'd say yes
And then all of a sudden, oh it seemed so strange to me
How we went from somthings missing to a family
Looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me
Is that I hope I'm at least half the dad he didn't have to be
I met the girl that'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 around the nursery window as they bring the baby in
And now all of a sudden, oh it seems so strange to me
How we'd gone from somthings missing to a family
Looking 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
And looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad he didn't have to be
Yeah, I hope I'm at least half the dad he didn't have to be
Because he didn't have to be
You know he didn't have to be

Brad Paisley Did the Song it was incredible it was about a single mom and was done from the child's outlook and as he grows up and has his own family and looking back on all that he did for him
