The Breath You Take - George Strait

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»

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»

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

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
