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 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 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
|
|
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
|
