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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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
