And for (7)________ I got to go

A few months later, I remember
Lying there in bed
I overheard him pop the question
And I prayed (8)________ she'd say yes
And then, all of a sudden
(Oh) it seemed so strange to me
How we (9)________ from something's

Looking 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 (10)__________ ago
We had the perfect (11)________________ but
We wanted (12)__________________ more
Now here I (13)__________ surrounded by our (14)____________ and friends
Crowded 'round the nursery window
As they bring the baby in

Looking through the glass, I think
About the man that's standing (16)________ to me

And I (17)________ I'm at least half the dad

All the things he did for me

Is I hope I'm at least

Because he didn't (18)________ to be

You know he didn't have to be
