If I Die Young by The Band Perry Lyrics

If I Die Young by, The Band Perry (Currently my fav song)

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.

Ah oh

Ah 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 he was holding my hand.

There's a boy here in town who says he'll love me forever.

Who would've thought forever could be severed by,

the sharp knife of a short life.

Oh, 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 'em for a dollar.

Their worth so much more after I'm a goner.

And maybe then you'll hear the words i've been singing.

Funny when your 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.

Ah oh.

(Ah oh)

The ballad of a dove.

Go with peace and love.

Gather up your tears.

Keep 'em in your pocket.

Save them for the time when your really gonna need them.

Oh, the sharp knife, of a short life.

Oh, well, i've had just enough time.

So put on your best boys, and i'll wear my pearls.
