If I Die Young

作詞：K. Perry     作曲：K. Perry

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

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 gray 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 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

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 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words that I've 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

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
