Terror in the hospital, our fears are all laid bare
Your heart kept stopping, so did mine. Screaming filled the air
The doctor wields the knife, and gently pulls you through
You take a breath, the clock resumes, and I can breathe anew
These are the moments that stop us in our tracks
These are the moments we know we can't go back
These are the moments when the second hand stands still
Now I hold on to what matters most and I know I always will
Heading to the North country, highway black with ice
Family means we gotta go, it's time to roll the dice
Headlights sweep across the dash, we spin across the lane
We turn around, check the kids, and we can breath again
These are the moments that stop us in our tracks
These are the moments we know we can't go back
These are the moments when the second hand stands still
Now I hold on to what matters most and I know I always will
And I remember, the day I got the news
My dad was gone, the cancer won, there was nothing they could do
I was only 16, it hit me like a train
After 20 years, many tears, now I can breathe again
These are the moments that stop us in our tracks
These are the moments we know we can't go back
These are the moments when the second hand stands still
These are the moments that stop us in our tracks
These are the moments we know we can't go back
These are the moments when the second hand stands still
Now I hold on to what matters most and I know I always will
Now I hold on to what matters most and I know I always will
Now I hold on to what matters most and I know I always will
