George Strait - Breath You Take lyrics

rate me

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
