The Breath You Take

Intro: Verse 1 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 Outro: Hmmmmm, hmmmm
