If I Die Young (The Band Perry)

刘颖L

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 loving 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 my 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

There worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singing

Funny when your 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

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 them 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
