If I Die Young - 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

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 gray, 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 loving 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 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 singing
Funny,
when you're dead
how people start listening


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 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're really gonna need them, 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
