BREATH YOU TAKE by 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."

CHORUS

But life's not the breaths you take
Breathin' in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what it's all about

You just might miss the point
Tryin' 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 sayin'
"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."

CHORUS

But life's not the breaths you take
Breathin' in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what it's all about.

You just might miss the point
Tryin' yo win the race
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away

BRIDGE

Just like it took my breath
when she was born
Just like it took my breath away
When dad took his last that morn

CHORUS

Life's not the breaths you take
Breathin' in and out
That gets you through the day
Ain't what it's all about

You just might miss the point
If ya don't slow down the pace
Life's not the breaths you take
But the moments that take your breath away
