If I die young
Chorus:If I die young, bury me in satinLay me down on a bed of rosesSink me in the river at dawnSend me away with the words of a love song
Lors make me a rainbowI'll shine down on my motherShe'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colours,oh and life ain't always what you think it oughta be noAin't even grey,but she buries her babyThe sharp knife of a short life,Well,I've had just enough time
Chorus:If I die young bury me in satinLay me down on a bed of rosesSink me in the river at dawnSend me away with the words of a love songThe sharp knife of a short life,Well I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white when I come into your kingdomI'm as green as the ring of my little cold fingerI've never know the lovin' of a manBut it sure felt nice when he was holding my handThere's a boy here in town says he'll love me foreverWho would have thought forever could be severed byThe sharp knife of a short life,well I've had just enough timeSo put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearlsWhat I nerver did is doneA penny for my thoughts oh no,I'll sell them for a dollar.They're worth so much more after I'm a gonerAnd maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
Chrous:If I die young bury me in satinLay me down on a bed of rosesSink me in the river at dawnSend me away with the words of a love songThe ballad of a doveGo with peace and loveGather up your tearsKeep'em in your pocketSave ' em for a time when your really gonna need'emThe sharp knife of a short life,Well I've had just enough timeSo put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls .
