[Verse 1]
Sometimes I tell you the way that I feel
I swear that I'm going crazy
Keep telling myself it ain't that big a deal
It's better than pushing up daisies

I felt the arrow from death's fatal quiver
Come so close it actually grazed me
I bled the blood and I felt the cold shiver
God only knows how He saved me

[Chorus]
There's two dates in time that they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows what they mean
What's more important is the time that is known
In that little dash there in between
That little dash there in between

[Verse 2]
Sometimes my heart is as true as a dove
Sometimes my heart it betrays me
So I draw my sword for to fight for my love
But without a whisper she slays me

[Bridge]
My mother died but somehow she keeps living
She'll never cease to amaze me
Now Dad turns his back on each day that he's given
Because he'd rather be pushing up daisies
[Chorus]
There's two dates in time that they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows what they mean
What's more important is the time that is known
In that little dash there in between
Yeah, that little dash there in between
