The Band Perry - The Song If I Die Young Lyrics
If I die young bury me in satinLay me down on a bed of rosesSink me down the river at dawnSend me away with the words of a love songOh oh Oh ohLord, make me a rainbowAnd I'll shine down on my motherShe'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colorsOh and, life aint always what it outta be noAin't even gray, but she buries her babyThe sharp knife of a short life... oh wellI've had just enough time...If I die young bury me in satinLay me down on a bed of rosesSink me down the river at dawnSend me away with the words of a love songOh oh Oh ohThe sharp knife of a short life... oh wellI've had just enough time...And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdomI'm as green as the ring on your cold little fingerAnd I'll never know the lovin' of a manBut it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my handThere's a boy here in town he says he'll love me foreverWho thought forever could be severed byA sharp knife of a short life... oh wellI've had just enough time...So put out your best boys and I'll put on my pearlsWhat I never did is doneA penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell for a dollarThey're worth so much more after I'm a gonerAnd then maybe you'll feel the words I've been singin'Funny how you're dead that people start listin'...If I die young bury me in satinLay me down on a bed of rosesSink me down the river at dawnSend me away with the words of a love songThe ballad of a doveGo with peace and loveGather up them tears and put them in your pocketSave them for a time when your really gonna need them ohTHe sharp knife of a short life, wellI've had just enough timeSo put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
