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, "Sad, 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 trough 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 trough 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
