Lyrics
The Dash Between The Dates As I walked up to the headstone I noticed first his name Engraved in fancy letters, it stood out bold and plain He was born in nineteen-sixty-four and he died in eighty-nine I swallowed hard when I realized he was only twenty-five I stood there for a moment sadly staring at the stone imagining some far off year when my time on earth is gone Then suddenly it came to me as I turned to walk away The only thing that matters... is the dash between the dates CHORUS: Oh, the dash between the dates is so easily ignored Hardly ever noticed, it stands for so much more It's all the time you get before you get to heaven's gates Every minute of your life fits in the dash... between the dates On my way home that evening I thought of all I'd seen How some die young and some live old and some fall in between If there's one thing that I learned that day it's that time... never waits and the only time to live is in that dash between the dates (repeat chorus) Bridge: Don't wait until you're dyin' to think about your fate and don’t waste another minute of your dash between the dates Copyright Sonny B.
