Lyrics

[00:00.00] George Strait - The Breath You Take
[00:05.00]
[00:10.00]
[00:14.61] He looks up from second base
[00:18.10] Dad’s up in the stands
[00:21.64] He saw the hit, the run, the slide
[00:25.22] There ain’t no bigger fan
[00:28.54] In the parking lot after the game
[00:32.07] He said, “Dad I thought you had a plane to catch?”
[00:36.92] He smiled and said, “Yeah, son I did,
[00:40.52]
[00:42.08] But life’s not the breath you take
[00:46.47] The breathing in and out
[00:50.10] That gets you through the day
[00:53.02] Ain’t what it’s all about
[00:56.78] You just might miss the point
[01:00.43] Trying to win the race
[01:04.10] Life’s not the breaths you take
[01:08.33] But the moments that take your breath away.”
[01:15.30]
[01:22.80] Fast-forward fifteen years
[01:26.19] And a thousand miles away
[01:29.95] Boy’s built a life, he’s got a wife
[01:33.62] And a baby due today
[01:36.82]
[01:37.41] He hears a voice saying, “I’ve made it son.”
[01:40.77] Says, “I told you dad
[01:42.54] You didn’t have to come.”
[01:45.59] He smiles and says,
[01:47.10] “Yeah, I know you did.”
[01:50.65] But life’s not the breath you take
[01:55.07] The breathing in and out
[01:58.65] That gets you through the day
[02:02.14] Ain’t what it’s all about
[02:05.39] You just might miss the point
[02:08.76] Trying to win the race
[02:12.74] Life’s not the breaths you take
[02:16.69] But the moments that take your breath away.”
[02:22.72] Just like it took my breath when she was born
[02:27.57] Just like it took my breath away
[02:31.17] When dad took his last that morn’
[02:35.21]
[02:36.64] But life’s not the breath you take
[02:41.19] The breathing in and out
[02:44.89] That gets you through the day
[02:47.78] Ain’t what it’s all about
[02:51.92] You just might miss the point
[02:55.17] If ya don’t slow down the pace
[02:59.11] Life’s not the breaths you take
[03:02.63] But the moments that take your breath away
[03:10.84]
[03:31.89]
