Take Your Breath Away Lyrics

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

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 breathin 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
But the moments that take your breath away
