If I Die Young lyrics

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 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, boy

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 your 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

Uh oh (uh, oh)

The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)

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, boy

And I'll wear my pearls
