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 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 fell in love with no one But it sure felt nice when I held you in the sun, and you You took my hand and said you 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

If I die young

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
