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, Ill shine down on my mother
Shell know Im safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh,
And life aint always what you think it ought to be, no
Aint even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, oh 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, oh 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 holdin 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 , oh 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 em for a dollar
Theyre worth so much more after Im a goner
And maybe then youll hear the words I been singin
Funny when youre 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 atdawn
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 youre really gonna need em, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
Ive had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and Ill wear my pearls.
