If I Die Young - The Band Perry
If I die young
bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with
the words of a love song
Uh oh uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow
I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you
when she stands under my colors
oh well
Life ain't always
what you think it ought to be no
Ain't even grey
but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life well
I've had just enough time
If I die young
bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with
the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white
when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring
on my littel clod finger
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice
when he was holdin' my hand
There's a boy here in town
says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever
could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life well
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys
and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts
oh no I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more
after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear
the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead
how people start listenin'

If I die young bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with
the words of a love song
Uh oh uh oh
The ballad of a dove
oh uh
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears
keep 'em in your pocket
Save'em for a time when
you're really gonna need'em oh
The sharp knife of a short life well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best boys
and I'll wear my pearls
