- Brad Paisley He Didn't Have to Be 歌词
- Brad Paisley
- When a single mom goes out
当一位单身母亲
on a date with somebody new
重新开始与人约会
It always winds up feeling more
那感觉总是有点
like a job interview
像是一场工作面试
我的母亲总是怀疑
My momma used to wonder
她能否找到一个这样的人
if she'd ever meet someone
即使在得知她身边还有我这个孩子以后
Who wouldn't find out about me
也不会转身逃离
and then turn around and run
在我五岁的时候
我见到了这个我称之为父亲的男人
I met the man I call my dad
他带我母亲去看了一场电影
when I was five years old
而我也得以一同前往
He took my mom out to a movie
几个月后我躺在床上
and for once I got to go
不经意听到他问出了那个问题
A few months later I remember lying there in bed
并祈祷她说出：我愿意
I overheard him pop the question
那个瞬间
and prayed that she'd say yes
于我而言多么奇妙
And then all of a sudden
这个残缺的家庭
Oh, it seemed so strange to me
终于又得以圆满
How we went from something's missing
回首往事，他为我做的一切
To a family
我唯一能说的就是
本不必成为我父亲的男人啊
Lookin' back all I can say
希望我至少能有他的一半好
About all the things he did for me
三年前
我见到了如今的妻子
Is I hope I'm at least half the dad
我们有一段完美的婚姻
That he didn't have to be
但是我们还想要更多
现在
I met the girl that's now
我被家人和朋友层层包围
my wife about three years ago
大家挤在育婴室的窗前
直到新生儿的到来
We had the perfect marriage
那个瞬间
but we wanted somethin' more
对我来说如此奇妙
Now here
这个幸福的家庭
I stand surrounded by our family and friends
从此添了新的一员
Crowded 'round the nursery window
我想到了那个男人
as they bring the baby in
站在我身边的那个人
And now all of a sudden
本不必成为我父亲的男人
It seemed so strange to me
希望我至少能做到他的一半好
How we've gone from something's missing
回首往事
To a family
我唯一能说的就是
本不必成为我父亲的男人啊
Lookin' through the glass I think about the man
希望我至少能做到他的一半好
That's standin' next to me
是的
要是我能做到他的一半好就好了
And I hope I'm at least half the dad
因为他本来不必付出这么多
That he didn't have to be
他本不必成为我的父亲
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
