Simply one of my favorite songs...




The Band Perry "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 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 boys 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 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, well

I’ve had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I’ll wear my pearls
