The Breathe You Take

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 found you had a plane to catch

he smiled and said son yeah i did

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

boys built a life he's got a wife and a baby due today

he hears a voice saying i made his son

he said i told you dad you didn't have to come

he smiles and says yeah i know you did

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 and

try to win the race

life's not the breath 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

you just might miss the point if

you don't slow down the pace

life's not the breath you take

but the moments that take your breath away
