The Band Perry | The Band 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
|
oh oh oh 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 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 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¡¯
|
|
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
|
oh oh
|
|
The ballad of a dove
|
Go with peace and love
|
Gather up your tears, keep ¡®em in your pocket
|
Save them 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
|
