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 trough the day

Ain't what its 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 hes 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 trough the day
Ain't what its 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 breathe when she was born

Just like it took my breathe away when dad took his last that morn

Life's not the breath you take

The breathing in and out
That gets you trough the day
Ain't what its 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
