 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
