The Breath You Take

George Strait

Intro: Verse 1 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 parkin’ 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 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 Verse 2 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" 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 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 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 But life’s not the breath you take the breathin? in and out That gets you through the day ain’t what it’s all about You 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 Outro: Hmmmmm hmmmm

Dans cette chanson, un père explique à son fils que la vie ne se résume pas simplement à des respirations sans fin, mais plutôt aux instants précieux qui nous font perdre le souffle. Il souligne que, même si l'on est souvent préoccupé par un objectif ou une course à la réussite, il est crucial de savourer les moments significatifs qui jalonnent notre existence. Le contexte évoque une relation entre un père et son fils, illustrant comment les expériences partagées au fil du temps peuvent être plus marquantes que le simple fait de passer à travers les journées. Le récit fait un bond dans le temps, montrant comment ces leçons de vie se transmettent et se construisent au fil des années. On y voit aussi des moments forts, comme la naissance d’un enfant ou la perte d'un être cher, qui rappellent que l'essence de la vie se trouve dans ces précieux instants mémorables.
