Title: The Dash Between the Years Style: Contemporary acoustic or soft pop ballad — warm vocals, gentle guitar, ambient piano. Lyrics (original creation): Verse 1 I heard a story once about a man, Who spoke when a friend was gone, He said the dates don't tell the truth, It's the space where a life shone on. Chorus It's the dash between the years, The laughter and the tears, The love we gave, the hearts we healed, The moments that felt real. Time slips through our hands so fast, But what we give, that’s what will last. Verse 2 The homes we build, the dreams we chase, The hands we hold along the way, They’re written not in stone or gold, But in memories we made each day. Bridge Someday they’ll carve your name in stone, They’ll mark the start and end alone, But the story that they’ll never see, Lives on in those you set free. Final Chorus It’s the dash between the years, The laughter and the tears, The kindness shared, the hearts you touched, That shows you loved enough. Time slips through our hands so fast, Live your dash — make every moment last.
