The Breath You Take

Lyrics

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
