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
  
  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
  
  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
  
  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
  
  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
