If I Die Young

CHOURS 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 long song,oh,oh. Lord make me a rainbow,I'll shine down on my mother,she'll know I am safe when she stands under my colors,and life ain't always what you think it ought to be no,ain't even gray,but she buries her baby. The sharp knife of a short life well,I've had just enough time. CHORUS 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 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 wear my pearls.What I ever did is done.A penny for my thoughts,oh know I'll sell them for a dollar. There worth so much more after i'm a goner.Mayhbe then you'll hear the words i been singing.Funny how your dead hoe people start listenin. The ballad of a dove go wit peace and love,gather up your tears,keep in your pocket,save them for a time when your really gonna need em. Oh the sharp knife of a short knife,wellI've had just enough time. So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls. SONG DONE BY THE BAND PERRY
