The Band Perry - If I Die Young Lyrics and Video
if i die yound burry 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
ooh ooh ooh ooh
lord make me a rainbow i’ll shine down on my mother
shes knows i’m safe with you and she stands under my colors
oh and life aint always what you think it ought to be
no it aint even grey but she burries her baby
the sharp knife of a short life
well i’ve had just enough time
if i die young burry me 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 have 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
well i’ve never known the lovin of man
but it sure felt nice when he was holdin my hand
there’s a boy here in town
who says he’ll love me forever
who would have thought forever could be severed
by a 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 em for a dollar
theyre worth so much more after i’m a gonner
and maybe then you’ll hear the words that i’ve been singin’
its funny when your dead how people start listenin’
if i die young burry 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
ooh ooh the ballad of a dove
go with peace and love
gather up your tears and keep them in your pocket
save em 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
