The Breath You Take
He looks up from second base, dad's up in the stands
He saw the hit, the run, the slide, there ain't no bigger fan
In the parking lot after the game
He said, "Dad, I thought you had a plane to catch?"
He smiled and said, "Yeah, son, I did"
But life's not the breath you take, the breathing in and out
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point, tryin' to win the race
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away
Fast forward 15 years and a thousand miles away
Boy's built a life, he's got a wife and a baby due today
He hears a voice saying, "I made it, son"
Says, "I told you dad, you didn't have to come"
He smiles and says, "Yeah, I know you did"
But life's not the breath you take, the breathing in and out
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point, tryin' to win the race
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away
Just like it took my breath when she was born
Just like it took my breath away
When dad took his last that morn
Life's not the breath you take, the breathing in and out
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
Just might miss the point if you don't slow down the pace
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away
He saw the hit, the run, the slide, there ain't no bigger fan
In the parking lot after the game
He said, "Dad, I thought you had a plane to catch?"
He smiled and said, "Yeah, son, I did"
But life's not the breath you take, the breathing in and out
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point, tryin' to win the race
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away
Fast forward 15 years and a thousand miles away
Boy's built a life, he's got a wife and a baby due today
He hears a voice saying, "I made it, son"
Says, "I told you dad, you didn't have to come"
He smiles and says, "Yeah, I know you did"
But life's not the breath you take, the breathing in and out
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
You just might miss the point, tryin' to win the race
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away
Just like it took my breath when she was born
Just like it took my breath away
When dad took his last that morn
Life's not the breath you take, the breathing in and out
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
Just might miss the point if you don't slow down the pace
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away
