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”
Chours Life’s not the breaths you take The breathing in and out That gets you through the day Ain’t what it’s all about Ya just might miss the point Try’n 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 He said “I told you dad you didn’t have to come” He smiles and says ”Yeah I know you did”
Chours
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 breaths you take The breathing in and out That gets you through the day Ain’t what it’s all about Ya just might miss the point If ya don’t slow down the pace Life’s not the breaths you take But the moments that take your breath away
