[00:02.40]The Breath You Take
[00:07.24]
[00:14.30]He looks up from second base
[00:17.88]Dad's up in the stands
[00:21.56]He saw the hit, the run, the slide
[00:25.05]There ain't no bigger fan
[00:28.52]In the parking lot after the game
[00:32.11]He said, “Dad I thought you had a plane to catch?”
[00:37.14]He smiled and said, “Yeah, son I did,
[00:42.04]But life's not the breath you take
[00:46.18]The breathing in and out
[00:50.05]That gets you through the day
[00:52.88]Ain't what it's all about
[00:56.56]You just might miss the point
[01:00.59]Trying to win the race
[01:04.48]Life's not the breaths you take
[01:08.51]But the moments that take your breath away.”
[01:16.68]
[01:23.18]Fast-forward fifteen years
[01:26.61]And a thousand miles away
[01:30.09]Boy's built a life, he's got a wife
[01:33.93]And a baby due today
[01:37.41]He hears a voice saying, “I've made it son.”
[01:41.24]Says, “I told you dad
[01:43.10]You didn't have to come.”
[01:46.03]He smiles and says,
[01:47.64]“Yeah, I know you did.”
[01:50.92]But life's not the breath you take
[01:54.91]The breathing in and out
[01:58.73]That gets you through the day
[02:01.86]Ain't what it's all about
[02:05.44]You just might miss the point
[02:09.42]Trying to win the race
[02:13.11]Life's not the breaths you take
[02:17.34]But the moments that take your breath away.”
[02:23.20]Just like it took my breath when she was born
[02:28.13]Just like it took my breath away
[02:31.61]When dad took his last that morn'
[02:36.51]But life's not the breath you take
[02:41.10]The breathing in and out
[02:44.73]That gets you through the day
[02:47.65]Ain't what it's all about
[02:51.44]You just might miss the point
[02:54.67]If ya don't slow down the pace
[02:59.01]Life's not the breaths you take
[03:03.60]But the moments that take your breath away
