Story behind the song
Song that we wrote after 9/11. The lyrics were really moving and took on a whole new meaning after the events.
Lyrics
Verse 1
There are things we take for granted
And sometimes we just don’t see
These moments are the breath of life
And the best of them are free
Magic moments like the first time
I heard my newborn baby cry
Or when I see Ol’ Glory wavin’
On the 4th day of July
Chorus
Life’s not measured by the number of breaths that we take
But only by the Moments that take our breath away
It’s remembering the little things that somehow made our day
So hold onto those Moments before they slip away
Verse 2
It’s the sound of church bells ringin’
Sayin’ Sunday mornin’ prayer
Or the smell of Mama’s biscuits
And my Daddy’s leather chair
Goin’ ridin’ with the top down
On a dog day afternoon
It’s the night I stole my first kiss
Beneath that harvest moon
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
So when you get down on your knees tonight
And thank the Lord above
For the blessings that he brings you
Don’t forget the ones you love
Cause we only get one chance to live
Before we have to fly
So let’s cherish all the little things
Before they pass us by
Repeat Chorus
