Just one look

~041~

Beca's point of view:

It's almost time for my fight with Tom. Chloe is being quiet all the time, but I don't care. I find it difficult to leave her behind too, but I have no other choice. Not only Chloe is silent, the rest of the girls and Jesse are too. Everyone is quiet. I just want to sing and that's why I start.

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses

I stand up and walk towards the guitar, who stands against the piano I was behind before I'll propose to Chloe. I start playing the guitar and sing further.

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
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 oughta 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 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)

Ooh yeah
Ooh whoa
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'

Now the girls start to sing with me, except for Chloe who is crying. My heart breaks when I see her, but I needed to sing this. I know I'm probably going to die, so...

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)
The ballad of a dove (uh oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears
Keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh
The sharp knife of a short life
Well I've had just enough (time)
