(+) The Band Perry - If I Die Young (Pop Version)



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
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 grey 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
lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when
I held you in the sun
And you It took my hand
said it 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
them for a dollar
They're worth so much
more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll
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 I've had
just enough time
So put on your
best boys and
I'll wear my pearls
