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 Tag: Hold onto those Moments, before they slip away
