Bi ht: 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
oh oh oh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, Ill shine down on my mother
She'll know Im 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
Ive 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
Ive had just enough time

And Ill be wearing white when I come into your kingdom
Im as green as the ring on my little cold finger
Ive never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand
Theres a boy here in town says hell love me forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well
Ive had just enough time

So put on your best boys and Ill wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no Ill sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after Im a goner
And maybe then youll 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 your really gonna need 'em oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
Ive had just enough time

So put on your best boys and Ill wear my pearls
