`If I Die Young`
If I die young. bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in a 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. oh 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. oh 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. says he`ll love me forever.
Who would have thought forever could be severed by…
…the sharp knife of a short life. oh 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 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
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 `em for a time when you`re really gonna need `em. oh
The sharp knife of a short life. oh well
I`ve had just enough time
So put on your best. boys. and I`ll wear my pearls.
