The Breath You Take

The breath you take - The Mick Lloyd Connection

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

But life's not the breath you take

The breathing in and out

That gets you trough the day

Ain't what its 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

Boys built a life hes 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 its 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 breathe when she was born

Just like it took my breathe 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 its 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
