The Breath You Take

歌詞

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, "Sad, 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 trying to win the race Life's not the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away 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 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 trough the day, ain't what it's all about You just might miss the point trying 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 trough 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
