The Band Perry Lyrics
If I Die Young Lyrics
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 gray
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 holdin my hand
Theres a boy here in town says hell love my 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 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 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 youre 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
