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 parkin' 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 breathin? 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
Verse 2
Fast forward fifteen 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 sayin' "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 breathin? 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
Bridge
Just like it took my breath when she was born
Just like it took my breath away when Dad took his last that morn
But life's not the breath you take, the breathin? in and out
That gets you through the day, ain't what it's all about
You 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
Hmmmmm, hmmmm
