George Strait - 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
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
