IF I DIE YOUNG

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 ohLord make me a rainbow,
I ‘ll shine down on my mother
Shell know I‘m safe with you when she stands under my colors,
oh and
Life aint always what you think it ought to be, no
Aint 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’veNever known the loving of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there is a
Boy here in town says he’ll, love my forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, wellI’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
Theyre worth so much more after
I’m a goner
And maybe then you’ll hear the words
I been singing
Funny when you’re dead how people start listening
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 them in your pocket
Save them for a time when your’re really gonna need them,
oh
The sharp knife of a short life, wellI’ve had, just enough time
So put on your best boys and
I’ll wear my pearls
