The Band Perry - If I Die Young
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
oh oh oh 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 and 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 little cold finger
I've never known the
lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice
when he was holding my hand
There's a boy here in town
says he'll love me forever
Who would have thought forever
couldn't 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 them 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
oh oh
The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears
keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time
when you 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
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
oh oh oh 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
